Wk 6 complete πŸ₯³

So chuffed, not gonna lie it was hard. But for the first time I tracked my route and I did 1.7 miles.

I know I was obviously very very slow but least it gives me something to work from, I’m not going to track every run as I’m sure that’s counterproductive but hopefully if I do it at the end of week 7 or beginning of wk8 I might see a difference.

Although considering five weeks ago I pretty much collapsed in my garden after running for 3x90 seconds i have obviously have massively improved 🀩

Well done! I usually start off every run with a bit of a wobble, because the first 5 minutes are the hardest for me. I do track every run, because I like pressing the buttons on my new watch! If anyone sees me, they must think I’m a pro and running slowly to train for a marathon πŸ˜€.

Eek! I just converted your 1.7 miles to Km and you are wayyy faster than me. Maybe I’ll get a prize for being the slowest runner in Couch to 5k!

Week 7 now for you, more of the same. I did R1 yesterday and found it a tad easier. Even increased pace for the last 60 seconds!

Excellent! Got to love shiny new toys. Mine’s a Garmin and I linked the app to Strava. Took me ages. Then I realised I only knew 1 person on Strava so I deleted the app πŸ˜‚

Congratulations! I’ve just got back from doing the same run.... When I started, I had to stop myself looking at my watch until at least 30 seconds had gone past!

Hi 5 from me! Keep at it... fingers crossed we will both be celebrating same time in 3 weeks!! πŸŽ‰πŸ‘

Well done on becoming a runner, and just to reaffirm the above messages, as long as you’re not going too fast pace is irrelevant 😊
