Week 4 Run 1 V2

Just before lunch I headed to the next village. I went along the lane next to the canal. When I got to the highest point I decided to break into a slow Japanese jog the rest of the way.

Watched a film on the telly then at 5 I set out for the park to do today's run.

First half went well but 2 minutes into the second 3 minute run I felt a little light headed. I slowed down to a walk. Then when Laura said it was time to start the final 5 minute run I started running again. I managed to complete this run ok.

I have not been drinking as much water these last few days so I am putting it down to that. I will see how the next couple of runs go before deciding whether I need to repeat or not.

You did it! Well done for getting through it. You might be right re: dehydration. Fingers crossed the next run is better

Get loads of water on board. All day every day not just run days. I try to carry a reusable bottle then it's always there to remind me to drink. Good luck and happy running
