W4R3 ... without headphones

So I did w4r3 just now without headphones so timed roughly by my watch. Apart from a sore throat and incipient cold (thanks Mr Sook!) all was ok. I’m visiting friends in Norwich and a few more ups and downs than my usual towpath. Looking forward to starting w5 on Monday!

Well done Sook2 ...running with a cold isn’t easy as it seems to sap energy but you managed what sounds like a great run...and naked too? (That’s running without music!) better than me, I can’t stand hearing myself breathing, especially at the moment as I’m just getting over a cold and my asthma is making me really wheezy!

Great for getting to the end of wk4. Did you enjoy running with no headphones. As I'm like Mummycav on the above post I hate hearing my breathing.

Well done you 😊

I’m nervous but the fact it’s only 3 runs somehow makes it seem better! I’m telling myself that!! Lol Good luck for week 5 😆

Colds are really annoying, hope it doesn't get bad enough to stop your running...we runners have got to run 🏃‍♀️👍

Hope week 5 goes well, with or without headphones 😉

Absolutely. In some ways I’d rather count breaths. I’ve worked out it’s about 50 breaths per minute
