Week 3 complete - run 3 was tough

Hi all,

Had my toughest run yet today. Up until now I have found it fairly straightforward and have enjoyed all the runs and wanted to run more. Today, however was the first time I really had to work hard and tell my body not to stop.

I have also been cycling a bit this week with my eldest which could explain why I am a bit more reluctant to run today and I also went out this morning a bit later than normal and it was already much warmer than I have been used to.

Anyhow, I persevered, kept going and didn’t stop.

Week 3 complete, bring on week 4....

Happy ‘hump day’ everyone!

Some runs just are tough, that's the way it is. The next one might be great!

The important thing is to just keep going.

For me, the toughest (so far! Still got 3 to go so won't speak too soon lol) were Runs 2 and 3 of Week 4, and Runs 2 and 3 of Week 7. Once I realised I was simply trying to run too fast, well, to be honest, I was told that on here, everything sorted itself out nicely. I run slowly, but I get there and what's even better, I enjoy it!

Onwards, and well done.

Not what you're looking for?
