W4R1 completed! 😁😁😁

Went into it with an open mind, not sure what to expect. Took it slow n had enough energy to speed up on the last run section surprisingly. Pretty pleased with the 1.7 miles I covered considering I was going slow. Feeling much more like a runner now 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Excellent work ! 1.7 is still more or less my usual even now, so I’m well impressed 😀

Thanks! I was a bit shocked tbh as I hadn’t done anywhere near that since the end of W2 n I think that was just cos I was walking very briskly. I’ve been making sure I go really slow for the first run of a new week so was gobsmacked when I saw the distance 😁.

How are you finding graduation? X

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Only had one run so far - massively busy just now. I was dreading it but it went ok. Hoping to get out again tomorrow 😀

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Hope the next one goes ok too then hopefully the dread will go away. It sucks when you’re too busy to run, hope you make it out tomorrow x

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

Me too ! It’s always a bit erratic, and one of my aims is to try to get out 3 times a week now. Watch this space 😄

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Best of luck!

Thanks 😄

Well done ! You must be feeling great right now

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to mummybowles]

Not half! It’s an amazing feeling when you realise that you’ve run more than before n you’ve still got energy to go faster at the end 😃

[Couchpotato2 Graduate]

Well done! I think it’s a good plan to keep it slow so as to know you can do it and now that I’m the longer runs, I do them slow a couple of times and try and run the 3 a bit faster but sometimes not because I dont fancy it

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

Thanks! That’s pretty much what I’ve been doing. I made the mistake of doing W2R1 faster n it got hard towards the end so I figure if I go slow on the first one of the week n still have energy to spare I can go a little bit faster next time. If I’ve no energy to spare I go slow again

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to SeeJillRun]

I’m on week 8 now and from 1 till now I’ve been actively slowing myself down and it’s helped me run for the longer times r3 in 5 and 6. In any case running slowly is just as good for you. I only speed up at the end when I know I can finish if that makes sense! Enjoy the rest of the week!

[SeeJillRun Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

That makes perfect sense, thanks. Enjoy the rest of Week 8 😁
