Yey - have made it this far & in a perverse way am enjoying myself.
Thanks for all the tips about watching speed - I think the message has finally got into my brain that I don't need to go fast, just to keep going. I still look like a beetroot when i finish but a slightly less deep shade of purple!
That last 5 mins of the W4R1 was hard this morning, but if you can do it once ....
Have also noticed my knees are complaining less & the strengthening exercises really do help.
Onwards ....
Great run and very good progress by the sounds of it... and you’re having fun! That will grow with each run. Enjoy that next one.
Good to read this, well done! I am doing w4r1 tomorrow and I’m so scared I’m going to find it too tough, it seems like a massive step up from w3! So your post is motivating me, and I’m going to take it slow (mind you I’m always slow!!).
Let me know how you get on - good luck
Hi ! I did it! That was so hard, like you I found the last 5 min run the hardest, and if I was jogging any slower I’d be going backwards!! And beetroot red face too :-). But great sense of achievement!! Am slightly in shock ...
Well done - finishing is a great feeling isn't it!
Thank you and yes it is such a good feeling of achievement! I do think it’s a very clever running plan (from my perspective as someone who’s never run before, always the last one to be picked in sport teams at school etc 😂).
Never thought I'd run!
Week 7 finished - never thought I'd say that in week 1!
Thought I'd enjoy it more
Never thought I'd get this far!
I'd never have believed it...
