Week 5 Run 2, 1 question!

So week 5 run 2, so I’m starting to look forward to my next sessions, I didn’t see that coming at the beginning!

I enjoyed the run and love the feeling of achievement at the end. I must admit the first run of 8 minutes I struggled with and think that was because I couldn’t get my breathing under control. After the walk and starting the second run, I was back in control and found it a lot easier going. As I’ve posted previously I’m doing this on a treadmill so the pace is very controlled but I did have to drop the incline for the second run 🤷🏼‍♀️ Still it’s in the bag now 😀

One question for you week 5’s: has anyone found their appetite increasing? Or is this just me rewarding myself in the wrong way?!

Yes I seem to be permanently hungry! A friend at work is also doing it says the same!

Ha thanks Julia187 I'm glad it’s not just me then. It doesn’t tend to be after the run that I want to eat, it’s the following day.

Knowing my patterns now I make sure I have a lot of fruit for snacking so I can have the sweetness I’m craving 😊

I hope you and your friend are enjoying this journey as much as I am.
