Its a funny thing this running.

Week 1 60 second runs - at the end of each run I was convinced I couldn't run another step. Week 8 R2 - 28 minutes of running and at the end I'm convinced I can't run another step, but I don't actually feel any worse than the week 1 runs. I suppose that's increasing fitness and a well-designed program? Just need to have faith in Michael Johnson. I'm nearly at the stage where I am almost enjoying it! Sense of achievement is great though.

You are doing very well indeed getfitatlast, so at the end of week 8 you feel the same as at the end of week 1

Once you have ran run 3 of week 9 you will be eleted with yourself, good luck for your graduation run 🏃🏾 😊 👍

You are so right the sense of achievement on completing a run is amazing. Well done you 🤗🤗

It is a fantastic plan! If you do find that you feel that way when you are still running then just slow down, it can really help.

I think I need to set off a bit slower then go for a big finish ! 😂.

[Smelliepoo Graduate in reply to getfitatlast]

It is so difficult to get that slow start isn't it! I may think about Japanese running while warming up (toxic 10) and once I am going then let it build up a bit. Yesterday I had to run really slow because of my shoulder and I think it really made me feel how to do it rather than just think about it!

Ill give it a go in tomorrow's run. Need to pull back from my blistering 14 minute mile pace!! Hope shoulder is getting better. Well done for carrying on running!

[Smelliepoo Graduate in reply to getfitatlast]

It's much better already. My sports masseur is really good! Always gets it going again!

Well done you. You've actually just proved your user name 👍
