Wk2 complete.

[Mullinz]

Done it. I’m not sure why it felt more difficult this morning but I’m places it was. My guess is I woke up late (05:10 instead 05:00) which put me on the back foot then my blood sugar was on the high side because my mouth felt dry so probably not hydrated enough (good grief here’s me sounding like an expert). Anyway it’s done and for about twenty minutes when I got in I felt drained but, to the annoyance of my wife and daughter I’m now zipping around with a spring in my step. Tips for Saturdays first bout of wk3 please gratefully accepted as up to this point it’s been ok but I just can’t see how I am possibly going to be able to run for 3 minutes. Honestly, I’m not saying it for effect, 90 seconds was ok by focusing on then spots on the ground but 3 minutes. This is definitely my brick wall and I fear that from this point on every week will be 😬🤓😕

You will be fine running 3mins the program has prepared your body for this. You just need to prepare your mind The gremlins will appear and want you to stop use whatever works to make them go away. Some on the forum talk out loud, using a little Anglo Saxon! But whatever works for you.

Keep hydrated- this has a big impact - sip water throughout the day, everyday.

And go slow, slow then slow some more!!!

You've got this. Believe in you 💪💪🏃‍♂️

You are doing six 90 second runs but on just 2 occasions out of 5 you are missing out the walk in between. You’re actually still only running for 9 minutes, same as this week, but you have the benefit of two weeks training in your legs and that’s twice the benefit you had last week - so you can get away with less walking. Every week just say to yourself, this is what last week’s training was preparing me for, I couldn’t have done it a week ago but with the benefit of my effort last week I can do it now.
