W4 Run1 done!

Just completed this run and managed fine, much to my surprise. Even the first 3minute run was ok. It’s probably the first time I’ve got a “buzz” out of running . I think what might have made the difference was hydration. Having seen all the advice on here, I drank loads yesterday and first thing this morning and my legs definitely weren’t so heavy feeling. I actually think I might be able to complete the whole program now.

Well done! 🙂 There is definately a process of learning what works for your body and we are all different. Hydration is an important one though. Of course, there is also the fact that you are getting stronger and fitter as you progress! 💪

Good luck with your next run - stay safe.👍🙂🌈

Snap! We are just back from w4r1 and I loved it. Was dreading the first 3 minutes but it was fine. 😄
