W4 R2 ✔️

Really enjoyed today’s run 🏃🏼‍♀️ I had to make it happen but I was so keen not to lose momentum. Two rest days had been taken because of the heat, and I’ve pretty much stayed off social media as I’ve been so hot and busy. I tried to do the run yesterday morning but I am defo not a morning runner. I felt stiff as a board and my head was like eugh. I was worried I would have to start dropping back and repeating runs if I left it any longer but my body really amazed me today and the first half was really enjoyable and the second half was slow and steady and determined. Hope everyone else is doing ok in this heat 🥵.

I have been running early morning but any later than 8 ...the heat gets too much. Running in the shadows of trees a?nd building s wherever possible. Well done for getting out there and on with the programme.😎

Well done for completing your run.

I start week 4 tomorrow and I'm honestly quite anxious about it. I'm glad I've read about your experience with week 4.

Well done once again.

It’s true what everyone says if you have completed week three your body is ready for week 4 :) slow and steady on 5 min runs xxxx

Well done! I did my W4 R2 yesterday as well in the afternoon. Damn hot, but Mondays W1 R1 was the worst, especially with the sun bearing down.
