3rd run checked

As it turns out I didn’t struggle at all. Tbh I ran a lot of the rest time. Not trying to b a hero or nothin but I just felt comfortable to chug along. Must b more capable than I gave myself credit for. Mind, there’s a steep hill on my run as I go round the golf course and my goodness, it’s punishing. I mean like really sucking as much oxygen as I can get and still haven’t made it to top of that hill yet without stopping. But that’s my target. I’ll do it in a couple of weeks. I’m actually starting to enjoy this.

Hi

Your enthusiasm is commendable but just be careful. The program is tailored to get great results whilst minimising the risk of injury. Your ligaments, bones and muscles need time to strengthen. You are putting your body through a lot of new stresses and it takes to adjust.

It's great that you felt good and wanted to keep going during the rest periods but they are there for a reason. Believe in the program 👍

Not what you're looking for?
