Week 4

First run of Week 4 today .

Doing it with my husband, he managed the full cycle , I had to stop after 3 minutes into the last run . But continued after 30 seconds . Felt really bad , as he seemed ok . Think running with another person makes you more determined.

Really can’t run any slower , but still can’t speak when running ☹️

Well done.

Running with another person may well make you run faster than you should be.

You can run slower.

If you cannot speak as you run then that pace is unsustainable. Either your husband needs to slow down to your easy conversational pace or he needs to run circles around you at his pace. It is important to find this pace to progress and repeat any session that you don't fully complete.

Slow down!

There is always slower...believe me:)

Well done you..but as the advice from IannodaTruffe says.. if you cannot speak then you are going too fast:)

This is for fun.. so.. relax and run at a comfy pace:) x
