Had to get out early this morning to do my Week 4 Third Run of C25K.
I knew I had a difficult meeting first thing and wanted to go into it with a clear head.
As I have mentioned before, I suffer from mental illness with chronic anxiety. Since starting C25K I have found that the runs help clear and focus my mind and makes a day more bearable. Had I left the workout till after my meeting, I would not be writing a progress report.
Today's run was amazingly comforting and I enjoyed it a lot better than Monday and Wednesday's runs.
One change I made was, I went out yesterday and bought an active-wear top and a breathable fleece. Previously I was running in a cotton t-shirt and a softshell jacket. These make you sweat and then stay wet where as the new clothing dried as I ran.
Glad to have completed Week 4
Looks like you picked a glorious morning for your run
Isn't it nice to treat yourself to some new gear? Being comfortable makes such a difference x
Not just new gear, but the right gear is so important as one of your articles re: trainers pointed out.
My friend wants me to do the West Highland Way from Glasgow to Fort William next July, so I had popped into a specialist shop to get advice and mentioned C25K and the assistant basically said, "other than the footwear, the clothing would be very similar!"
Hence the new active wear. That's my excuse any way LOL
then i think with all the associated training etc you may well need another set .......
Thanks for the permission LOL When I get questioned by my partner or my Dad, I'll just say you said it was OK LOL
Bring it on
I have broad shoulders lol 💪💪
