Run 1 Week 5

Just returned from my first run of week five.

Last week, I was getting to the last 2 1/2 minutes and speeding up from a jog to a run. This pushed me out of my comfort zone and boosted my enjoyment of the run.

This time, I decided to push myself for the final 5 minutes, big mistake. After 3 minutes of running, my breathing pattern went and I had to slow to a jog.

I did enjoy my run today and I learnt how far I can push myself at this stage.

Onwards and upwards. Run 2 of week 5 on Saturday.

Well done onyour run. I tried increasing my pace at the last bit of the run and felt sick. Won't be doing that again.
