W2R2 nailed it!

[Yogibear012]

Tonight's run was amazing! I slowed down alot, put the incline up on the treadmill (which I hadn't done previously) I brought running shoes the day before yesterday after a gait analysis the difference was huge compared to my other shoes (definitely can't quit now 😂) and focused on how I was breathing the whole time (cheers to the guy who put a YouTube video on breathing in the comments on the guide post) I only saw this forum end of week one and wish I had read it earlier.

Every other time I have struggled quite a bit, but this run was super easy I was amazed when I finished how easy it had been and how I didn't have aching muscles at all. Came home smiling telling my partner how much I nailed it.

Now to focus on upping my water intake to 2L a day which is shockingly non existent at the moment 😬

Thanks for all the amazing tips on here!

That sounds like a really great run. Hope you enjoying runnung in your new shoes and yes really try to drink 2-3 litres of water per day it will help. Well done you 😊

Well done!

Well done! Have to ask... why the incline on the treadmill? It really isn't necessary , despite what you may have read. But anyway.... carry on!

I did read that it made the transition from treadmill to road running easier, which will be helpful in the long run I guess.

Honestly, it's just not necessary - the road will feel very different, despite the incline. You'll get used to it very quickly though

Well done, it's great when everything falls into place.

You can download apps on your phone that help with the water intake.

Take care 😀👍

I’m doing this run tomorrow and to be honest I’m already dreading it! Where can I find the YouTube video? Sorry I’m new here x

YouTube Matt cama and how to breathe while running. I was amazed by how much of a difference implementing all the techniques from the guide post on this forum. Definitely give it a good read.
