Wk5r1 done and wasn’t too bad!!!

I had to really drag myself out of bed to do this run before work and dropping kids at breakfast Club. I’m so glad I did though! I was amazed that the 3 runs really felt ok, and I think this is a first for me?! all the runs before this have felt tough, been out of breath and pushing myself but today was so different!

I wouldn’t go so far as to say I enjoyed it yet, but didn’t dislike it either! I’m feeling ok about doing r2 in a couple of days but still dreading R3!!!

Like others have said on this forum, I never thought I’d get into running until doing this program (I’m 46) it really does take you by surprise!

I meant to say w5r2 not week 6. That was a typo..or wishful thinking 😂

It is exciting when you realise you are beginning to look forward to the runs. I am on W6 and I haven't always enjoyed my runs when I have been out on them but the feeling afterwards keeps me wanting more!

46? A babe in arms compared to some of us! I admire that you get out of bed and run, I have to wait several hours before my creaking joints are ready for any kind of exertion.
