After feeling a bit crap for missing an extra day between runs, I got my kit on, stuck in my headphones and found a new playlist to get me through my run. Following a slight curse at seeing the 8 min runs, I pretended I hadnβt seen it and started my walk. O.M.G. 4 mins in and Michael is telling me Iβm half way through the first run and Iβm not even tired! Then in the last 60 seconds of run 2 I even increased my speed the teeniest bit (Michael said I could) and nailed it! Spent my brisk 5 mins cool down grinning at strangers π. But I really didnβt care. Iβm a runner! The moral of the story is - even if you think u are doing rubbish, just get out there and do your best. Oh and beware of smiling at dodgy looking peopleπππͺ.

Well done you sometimes when you don't feel good, the best runs happen

Youβre a convert OWC, no doubt about that! Grinning inanely to yourself, or at strangers, fist pumping (seemingly) out of the blue and uttering a loud βyesssssβ and not caring who hears are all symptoms. Just wait, youβll get them all! π

Well done, we surprise ourselves sometimes! Sounds like your extra rest day meant you came back full of energy and raring to go. βΊ π
That is so great - I am on week 5 too and it is starting to feel so much better - I am really looking forward to being able to do 5k again (I used to run but have been out of the game for a while!).
