Seem harder today

Wk4R2 I finished but it seemed harder today, I felt cold before and put on a long sleeve work top . Just felt a bit more out of breath on the last run. I hope next run I will be warmer. I can’t imagine running in winter scary. I will be too 🥶

I will need to go to gym.

Everyone has tough runs and it sounds like you had one today, take heart in that you did it and if you are breathless slow down a bit until your breathing is under control

Saying all that week 4 i hated and very nearly gave up, i don’t know why but it all felt so hard, then week 5 was amazing so keep going it does get better and feel easier

Don't let anyone tell you that week 4 isn't hard work. It is! It's the biggest jump in activity in the programme.

Well done! 🙂

Where do you run? I remember Winter runs can be really good. Watch out for ice and wear appropriate clothes. Maybe wear gloves too.

Running in the countryside is beautiful on clear Winter days but otherwise around a park in town is good.

It is still summer but it is cold and I am a summer and snow type, not the cold in between wet rain.

I will need to prepare for winter.

Thanks I do enjoy the urban run I am not experienced enough yet to try countryside runs fear of breaking something at my age, 🤣
