Week Six Run 2

Well I did it.

It might have looked more like Mo from The Three Stooges than Mo Farah, but both feet left the ground and I followed Sanjiv’s instructions.

Now for the 25 minutes on Sunday.

This is mind over matter every step of the way.

Great job... you got this.. enjoy week 7, it’s going to put some strength in your legs as you consolidate that 25.

Thank you. I’ve really been thinking about exactly that tonight. I’m not going to go mad. I’m just going to keep going and getting the minutes in.

Good plan... madness can wait... my friend has run for years and only succumbed to actual madness this year and took on a few ultras 😂

That's amazing, congratulations! It's mind over matter indeed, and just being slow and steady. I'm not planning a sprinting race anytime soon, but do want to finish each run!

I was at an event recently where an extraordinary man called Matt King spoke. He has been totally paralysed since he was 17 after a rugby accident. However he has achieved amazing things in his life. He says it’s all about breaking tasks into small chunks. I often think of him as I aim for the next minute or tree or kilometre mark.
