W2 R1 Done

Hi everybody,

Did this this morning using the podcast, and enjoyed the addition of the music - it seemed to help with pace. Didn’t struggle too much and increased distance covered slightly. I dug my Gear watch out and loaded Strava to measure the last 2 runs, and find the stats quite motivating. And of course the fabulous support on here helps immensely! Thanks 😁

Well done 💪🏼 I find the podcast much better to use than the app too. Keep at it 😊

Well done Wenderwoo. I also did run 1 this morning and after my experiment with the podcast on Saturday, I went back to the app this morning as I wanted to use that to confirm my progress. Although I had the instructions of when to run and when to walk etc. I didn't hear the half time - turn around bell (but thought it was about time, so had just rotated). Then when I got home found that I couldn't save the run anyway, it was asking me to start the process. Never mind, I know I did it, plus I recorded it with Map my Run as well. Run two Wednesday or Thursday and hopefully run 3 on Saturday...

Just finished W2R1 as well...congrats! I’m definitely not a natural runner but it was actually easier than I thought so it hasn’t put me off. Will wait until month end though before I weigh in. Good luck with R2.

Well done.. as long as you feel reasonably comfy at your pace, like not being too out of breath then it should be fine.

If the going gets so tough and breathing feels ragged then that's the cue to just back off the pace a tad..
