W4 done!

Really good run- later in the day than usual- I was playing teacher today😂

I think I pushed a little harder in the first half and so slowed toward the end- but all in all it was a decent pace and enjoyable!

Looking forward to next week/ I’m going to need to ensure I pace well, especially for the w5d3!

And... the dreaded time is getting closer... I may have to think about shorts at some point....

(I hate shorts)

Or, rather, I am uncomfortable with my legs on display...

But, who knows, perhaps with all this running and subtle fitness improvement I’ll get over it..🤔

Don't be scared of run 3 of week 5, the program has prepared you for that run, ha, you shouldn't feel ashamed of your legs, I am a cyclist as well now as a runner, I always wear shorts when cycling although I do wear longer trousers when running, soon it will be shorts when running as well.

You get yourself some shorts especially with the longer runs and the warmer weather coming. 🏃🏾

Don't worry about //that// run - just take it slowly and make sure you have some tunes to allow your mind to wander instead of worrying about being able to do it!

Re shorts: it got a bit warm for me today too, I was wearing my gym vest but with running sleeves (just to keep my lower arms warm but my back and shoulders cool) and long yoga pants - those were the bit of kit that got a bit sweaty, haha!

Eek, the thought of being brave enough to expose my pale legs... but I'm sure they'll catch a bit of sun when I continue this running lark into the summer ;)
