W4R1

Bit of a shock when I was told id be running 5 minute stretches... could I do it ? Damn right I could, I was warned that this running milarky was addictive, must have looked a right Pratt when id done the run, and I punched the air, damn, never feels so good... bring it on

It’s such an amazing feeling when you accomplish something you didn’t think you could do.... need to celebrate small wins 🥳 (I do a little happy dance at the end)

I’ve got my week 4 1 st run tomorrow looking forward to it , I think lol

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Slow and steady , you've done 3 mins, 5 isn't that much more.. just keep thinking, fitter and stronger every run you do...

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

It is slow and steady lol

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

And how did you get on ?

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I'm 61,never run in my life, so it's quite an education, lol...

It was a big step up from week 3 but I did it lower legs were screaming though run again tomorrow

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Well done you, sense of achievement? I've done the second one, its easier..you know what to expect

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Yeah it was a sense of achievement not sure it’s easier for the next one ,just hope the weather behaves

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Run 2 just finished that was hard work but I had been at work all day so happy enough

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I'm due to start week 5 tomorrow, wished I'd not looked at the set up... by run 3, running 20 mins! Just focus on the run tomorrow, deal with that when it comes

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

You’ve got this ,you’ve already run 16 mins in this last week

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Aye, with breathers in between... not in one fell swoop...W5R1 tomorrow

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Good luck I’m only one run behind you

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Keep it up.. will let you know what this week brings

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Yes please do I’ll wait with bated breath I know it ramps up next week

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Well, with battling the strong headland winds, I didn't think I'd do it. So glad the wind was behind me on the last run, which I did find hard... but i did it...legs ache mind....

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Great stuff onwards and upwards mine tomorrow I’ll keep you updated

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Starting the run, I was unsure. After all 8 mins is a bit of a step up.. do you know, it was ok, and once I'd done the first 8 mins, I figured , as I'd done it once, I could do it again, yes, legs ached, but breathing was ok... it's all in the mind, so on that thought, bring on tomorrow's 20 min run, according to my fit bit I did a 20 min run today anyway....

[iBard Graduate]

This is my next run tomorrow.

I’m fairly confident that I can do 5 minutes at a stretch but your post is helpful as a model of excellence 😁

[Hidden in reply to iBard]

I'm beginning to realise it's my mind that's telling me I can't do it, keep with the programme and the body adjusts... the health benifits are already starting to show for me. My walking heart rate has gone fro 97 down to 85 .... getting fitter!

You’ll kill it mate go for it
