Week 5 Run 2

The first voiced split from the podcast at 4 mins in to the first 8 minute run came as a shock. Really? Already? Wow that was fantastically enjoyable! Yes, I went for two eight minute runs and had fun. So, 20 minute run on Monday. Nervousness and anticipation are my overriding feelings. Can’t wait.

Well done! You are so ready for the 20 minute run. All it takes is for you to believe it - just take it slowly (you can speed up later) and you will SMASH it! Good luck!

Thanks Jools. I’m feeling well and my second 8 minute run was slightly quicker. Good luck on your first Week 5 run; I’m certain you’ll love it!

Thank you, looking forward to it! Already planning the music. Need something appropriate. When I ran in the rain yesterday, I was listening to Queen. Just as the heavens opened and chucked bucketfuls of rain on my head .....Freddie started singing ‘It’s a beautiful day.... the sun is shining.....’ 😀 but he did carry on with ‘and no-one’s gonna stop me now’, which WAS appropriate!

Thanks. It feels weird enjoying it. As a former Rugby player at a reasonable standard running was always seen as a punishment, so I’ve always had a mental block against doing for enjoyment.
