Just posting to record and vent.

So week 1 looking back was hard for me.

Dread filled me when mr coach says ok..your gonna run for 90 this time..as i felt it was hard the week before doing 60! Yet..i felt fine..ok About 3/4 i was beginning to feel tired but just powered through. Well chuffed. Drinking plenty water day before helped big time though.

Thanks for reading!

That’s great - well done you ⭐️ When you’ve done it once, you get extra mental strength for the following two. Enjoy the week !

I think water is what is getting me through this. Since starting, I've given up drinking coffee and tea (haven't drunk alcohol since Christmas) and just have water and make an after-run smoothie with Alpro milks. Now I drink maybe 2-3 litres each day.
