Wow i ran for 3mins...

First time since started quads not hurting..

Motivation is defo there as have kept same time early evening..then did a night shift.

Im starting to see its good for me...

One thing being a soft southerner in the north i noticed the temp was lower and my hands were like ice.

That might be down to having a dodgy stomach since the sat run.

Anyone else get upset stomach after doing the runs.

Hey. Well done on your 3min run. I remember feeling top of the world when I done it. Keep that feeling, it really kicked me on. Did you drink any water right before you ran? I found that I got a upset stomach if I did that. I always had zips 5mins before my stretch, stretched for 5mins then went. That 10mins seemed to do the job.

Keep going and well done

Great yo be completed wk3r1. Some people like to wear gloves when running if you'd like to try. Well done you 😊

👍Well done!! Keep a slow pace & that should keep all aches and pains at bay. Hydrate well in between & doing a few dynamic warm ups before leaving the house warms you up. I live in Northumberland so I know the feeling!

Well done! I couldn't believe it when I did 3 mins either, it feels amazing! And mine was only last week!

I only get a tummy ache if I have eaten within about 3 hour before running or have drunk too much water before I run or while I run, I find that hurts a bit unless it is little sips now and then. I always run on an empty stomach, I read somewhere that this help you maintain health better because that is what we would have done as hunters before supermarkets were invented! I do not know how much trust hthere is to this though and can't remember the source to check it!

I can only imagine what it is like running up north, as I myself am also a soft southerner and stayed in the South! Its too cold up there for me!

Congrats and keep going!
