Yesterday I woke up at 8am, ready to get out and run! But........ procrastination on my day off is terrible. Didn't actually get my trainers on until 5pm!!! But I did it. I got those trainers on and did my run.
It went better than expected. The first 3 minute and 5 minute run went well. The last 3 minute run was good and it was just on the last minute of the last 5 minute run that nearly did me in. I almost gave up and stopped but I reminded myself that I had done so much already and I could muster up enough strength for that last few seconds. Oh my goodness, I felt so good when I made it.
It is unbelievable how much stamina you can build up over 4 weeks. I think back to how I huffed and puffed during my very first run, when a 1 minute jog was challenging and now I can jog for 5 minutes! Crazy.
Hope everyone else has been able to fight through their own excuses and procrastination - Run, Run, Run
Well done! This programme is amazing isn't it? I began a year ago and really struggled in the first few weeks, but put my trust in the programme and it worked for me, as it has for so many other people. You are clearly building up the stamina - there will be no stopping you now! Happy running. 👏👏👍😀
Thank you Jo. I really am amazed at the stamina that has built up so quickly. I look forward to improving even more.
