Week 5 Workout 1.....I did it!

[Voodoorunner]

OMG!

After all my trepidation I took myself out earlier & managed to complete the first workout of week 5!

I decided to increase my warm up walk to 7 minutes....that way I had walked most of the way up the big hill at the start of my route before the first 5 minute run.....which seemed to last forever but doable. As always I find the other runs slightly easier than the first!!!!

I'm going to try the same workout again in a couple of days but with the standard 5 minute warm up walk , so I can attempt to run the hill before I move on to the 8 minute runs.

Thanks again to all those who replied to my earlier post & gave me the confidence to have a crack at week 5. 😊

Brilliant , you started on wk5. You're doing what's right for you and as you know you can repeat any run or week . Well done you 😊😊

Well done! I think then5’ is a minimum really. It’s probably ok when you are 20 and it’s warm outside but I found that 10’ was better for me in these temperatures plus if you avoid the hill then.... win win congratulations

Brilliant. Really well done. Hopefully this will give you confidence to keep going.

The program really works, sometimes we just need a little push.

3 cheers for you, you deserve it!
