Monday was Week 1 Day 1 and half way through had terrible palpitations and dizziness so much so, had to pause the app for 10 minutes and sit down. But, once they’d gone I completed the second half. Not ideal but chuffed I sort of completed it all the same.
Did a bit of research and realised I was dehydrated! This morning, 200mls of water 30 minutes before my run and it worked! No palpitations, no dizziness and no stopping! How chuffed am I!
Have the very best day everybody! I know I will! ☺️
Plenty of water on rest days and run days!
I do drink lots but never occurred to me to drink before a run! ☺️
Only time I ever had to abandon a run was hydration - it was like running out of petrol - I just ground to a halt!
Crikey! Never thought about it at all! That’s how I felt Monday. Wasn’t sure I was going to manage to even WALK home at one point!
I'm happy to hear that the trouble was just down to hydration which you've now fixed, you don't need me to tell you how important it is to keep hydrated. 👍
I'm glad you had a great run this morning, I look forward to seeing you progress through the programme!
Thanks Mik! ☺️
It's no problem Ria 😊
Thanks very much, you were the one that's finally persuaded me to change my name to Mike, rather than Mik3 lol. It's been that way for years and people keep calling me Mik 🤣
Haha! All a odd with names on here but hello Mike! Have a fab day. Andrea ☺️
Thanks Andrea 😊 you too x
Im so happy too hear it was dehydration. Keep drinking lots but if it happens again and you have been keeping well hydrated, please, please, please go to your GP and request an ECG before carrying on.
Good luck and happy running!
Awww I will Lindsay. Thank you! X
