Week 4 Run 1.... Wow

That was a killer!!! The last run had me dying on my last legs but there was no way I was going to stop or even slow down (admittedly I’m not running that fast anyway). Pure stubbornness got me through that last stint lol!

Looking back to week 1 I wasn’t quite sure how I was going to run for 60 seconds...this sure does work!!!

I hope everyone else is getting on ok!! Wel done to you all 👏🏻😊

I can’t believe I did it. I thought I’d go for it but would miss the last 5 minute run but I get good and managed. I’m finding it easier than week 1 and 2. I ACTUALLY quite enjoyed it

You’ll be fine- don’t think just do! That’s what I’m trying to do anyway - if I look at the plan too far ahead I know I’ll try and put it off!!

I know exactly what you mean!! I wondered if I’d even be able to manage 5...it killed me but I did it! And you feel even better at the end of it knowing you’ve pushed yourself! Keep that end goal in mind!! 😘

Haha, I was terrified! But once you get through week 3 you’ll be ready to increase your running. It’s all worth it 💪🏼😆

It gets easier, just finished Week 4. Struggled run 1 and 2 but then 3 seemed easier.
