W4 R1

After struggling with the first run of week 3 I faced week 4 with some trepidation. Am I ready for this, or should I repeat a week 3 run? Well tonight I thought let’s go for it. So slooow and steady I set off and I’m so pleased that I managed all the runs without gasping for breath. I was amazed at how much further along my route I got so I must be going quicker than I think!

Well done! I did W4 R1 a couple of days back and struggled through the 5 min sections, but I am heading back out today!
