Week 4 Run 2

Didnt feel 100% this morning and hadnt slept well. I actually left the house expecting not to complete it, gone is my positive mind set

However, surprise surprise I did it and it felt the same as run 1. (Very) slow and steady, my knees hurt again during the last 2 runs but I didnt stop and I didnt find myself willing it to end

Bring on run 3 😁

Well done, I think I had a bit of a slump in week 4 but week 5 was definitely my favourite. You're going great πŸ‘

This is good to see,

Think back to how you were feeling on week 1 run 1 and what you have now achieved 😬

Well done πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

I wonder if knee supports would help you ?

Haha yes , twitter can be a little hostile at times .

Yes, I had a knee support years ago as my left knee used to ache walking!

It doesn't seem to bother me now .

I think ( in MY case) my weight didn't help , I'm almost 2.5 stone lighter now πŸ™‚

I'm sure my knee problems are due to the extra weight ☹

Well, if it's any consolation , mine has been ok since I lost it .

Another great reason to keep it up πŸ™‚πŸ‘

I've definitely found Week 4 challenging. I wasn't feeling 100% when I did run 3 yesterday. Torrential rain meant I couldn't run when I'd wanted to.

Week 5 starts for me tomorrow or Thursday.

Good luck! πŸ€

I'm out of sorts with my days at the moment, its birthday season for my family so I've not always been able to go out on my regular days. I'll finish week 4 this week and will probably start week 5 next week

You’re doing amazing!!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

It’s always a fab surprise when you complete one.. but remember you thought you couldn’t do week 1!... and here you are! πŸ‘

Have some self belief and trust in the plan!!!

YOU are doing this... and I couldn’t be more proud of you! πŸ’•

Thank you, it's this place, it does something to you πŸ₯°

I cant believe how differently I'm coping with it mentally to when I first tried months ago.
