Got back out there

[Pickles1234]

Thanks all for your incredibly supportive comments on my last post. I just did W5R2 again but without the 1% incline as suggested by John_W (who seems well qualified to comment 😂), and it was so much better. I do have weak lungs so maybe that’s always going to cause me problems. I realised too that there was a lot of mental blockage going on and I am getting that out of the way, hopefully. So, feeling good today and giving myself credit for doing this when I’m so overweight and was so unfit before starting. 😊

Great job... the lungs will strengthen just like the rest of you. Give yourself lots of credit, you’ve done all the hard work.

Thanks UNM- your comment in particular really struck a chord and made me realise I was self-sabotaging. Huge Thankyou for that 😊

Good for you 😁👍👍

I see yesterday you posted that you now walk significantly faster than you did in week 1. So even without adding in the extra running your body is working harder.

So maybe it's not weak lungs just you are pushing yourself more each time?

Have fun finishing week 5 and head on out to wk6 it will love to see you x

You are doing a fantastic job x believe in you and the program 🤗

Thanks Jogunlikely. Yes that’s what I need to do. Think maybe I’ve turned a corner now.

Thankyou - have to learn to give myself credit where it’s due. This definitely isn’t just about learning to run is it?!?!?
