Week 4, Run 1 - It means business now

2 Replies

Well, that was a bit of a step up. Running 16 minutes instead of 8 or 9.

I did it though and felt great. Its clear to me now how well designed the programme is.

So far, i have learned that my own mind and resolve is the most important factor and to dismiss any temptations early rather than entertain the idea of staying in and being lazy instead.

The more I practice self discipline, the easier it seems to be getting.

Hope this helps anyone at a similar stage to me in the programme. :D

W4R1 yesterday...defo felt it more, but could be down to a variety of random factors, not just the running!

I try and do all my run/walk activities in the morning...it does get harder to get out the door as the day goes on! 🙄😬
