Week 2 run 3 done! Plus extra 😁

[PixLau]

Decided to try an early morning run rather than leave the day go on and I’m so pleased! I managed to run through the last two 90 second runs and the 2 minutes I was supposed to be recovering all in one go. So a total of 5 minutes consecutive running which felt impossible to me at one stage! I just wanted to push myself a bit to see where my limit was, and I was really surprised at how much I can do even this early on in the program. So chuffed 💕

Well done.

The carefully considered progression of the programme is that way for a reason.

Take care.

Thankyou I am careful, I’ve been building on my aerobic fitness and strength since January as I take two spin classes a week. I didn’t push myself to exhaustion 😊

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to PixLau]

Spin does not involve impact.

[PixLau in reply to IannodaTruffe]

No, I know. I appreciate that, I’m not talking full pelt running. I jog, I felt comfortable, I am quite active in general so not going from doing nothing at all, I enjoyed it 🏃🏼‍♀️

Good to know you ran consecutive 5min but hold your horses lady. It would be better to stick to the schedule. You may want to build in a good rhythm before the longer runs of W4 and above come in.

[PixLau in reply to robew88636]

Yeah I don’t do it every time, because I haven’t been able to and I don’t jog quickly at all, I was just enjoying so decided to give a little more and before I knew it she said it was time for the next run. It wasn’t intended and I didn’t exhaust myself 😊

"because I haven’t been able to" - this will change very soon and later you will build on speed too so no worries on that front as well. All the best for week3 and above.
