Week 9 Run 1

5 Replies

Well, don’t know what to say really other than I am surprising myself!

If it wasn’t for this programme I wouldn’t keep going after the first 5 mins as I always feel I can’t do it!!!

It’s probably another 5 mins before I feel comfortable...

Anyway, run done 🏃🏻‍♀️

All good, I did notice the extra 2 mins but am amazed that I have just run 30 mins and had to start the programme twice at the first week as I couldn’t run for 30 seconds.

What does that tell you about the programme...

It’s Amazing!!!

Well done Chrissie !

Fantastic run and only 2 more of the same to go ! 😬👍

I know what you mean about the first 5 or 10 minutes, it's the well known 'Toxic 10'

Always nice to get past that ! 😬

in reply toInstructor57

Thank you so much Instructor 57 I didn’t know about the Toxic 10, I thought it was just me!

That really helps...thank you again, enjoy today 😊

For the first five or so minutes at least one group of my muscles moans at the exercise. I've written about this many times in my accounts here.

in reply tonowster

Thank you nowster, Wish it was just my muscles moaning, it’s the dreaded gremlins as well. I really must get a cat unless Instructor 57 wants to lend me his😂🤣

Fantastic!! And it’s so hot I’ve not run for a while actually dripped last time I ran. I usually have a strong glow 😊

Not what you're looking for?
