Week 4

[GoldieJu]

Did W4R2 this morning, I’m finding this week really hard. Suffering with a stitch and just not enjoying it as much. Anyone else finding this week hard ? X

Think you just need to slow down even more which will help you run better and prevent you getting a stitch. Well done 😊

Thanks Buddy34, I’ll give that a try 😁

Slow down.

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Well done.

If it is hard there is a simple answer.........slow down.

You should be able to speak aloud clear ungasping sentences as you run, as detailed in the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

I found week 4 tough going too. But keep going, in my experience week 5 has been much better! 😊

[GoldieJu in reply to Onewomanscrusade]

That’s encouraging, thank you 😊

Well done... as above keep slowing it down until you find your happy pace.

Learning to run slowly will really help. My first breakthrough was learning that my brisk walk could be faster than my run. And then in w6 I found this -

Japanese slow jogging technique - I still run this way all the time because I love it! It’s low impact easy pace and I get all the benefits of running without the pain! I’ve lost over 5 inches from my waist so it definitely works! There’s more to it than just slow so worth watching a few times to catch it all. Hope this helps x
