Well after a few days of having knees in pain and yesterday I played golf, had a good rest at home...and then got my running shorts on and went for it.
I kept a nice steady pace so didn't want to push myself......till the end!
Laura kept me informed that it was a 25 min solid run! and i was ready to do it and really looking forward to it and it did not disappoint.
I kept it nice and steady and last 5-10 mins i stepped up the base to more brisker run and kept that going till the end and WOW! I could have kept going - i LOVED it.
My advice to people who are worried with the longer run times, is just pace it....use your pace of run to control your breathing and tiredness. My knee did not hurt on this run either - so fingers crossed that has stopped.
I also jog on the spot and pushing up as high as i can on the balls of my feet for just 2 mins on the spot before my warm up walk, this helps warm the back of my legs and has stopped my legs aching - and drink 3l of water a day and have glass before your run, thats what I do. I pour a glass of water and leave to have when i get back as my reward!
Keep going...i LOVED THIS RUN !!!!!
Week 7.....i'm coming to get you.......

Thank you so much - i never thought i could run more than 5 mins !! this is a huge step and one of the best i've ever had. Covid can take my business.......government can not help our sector....but the one thing i can do is have my health and this is more important than anything.......its keeping me strong.
Thank you - it was fantastic, loved it so much. My knee hurting in the week and last actually devastated me....but thank god thats behind me now. I played golf a little today, and it was there a little....but not much, but tomorrow is another run day - and i can not wait !
Brilliant - you will smash it. Hopefully is something I used to say.....but then i realised is hopefully is a word of me thinking " Will i have time, or can I do this around other stuff " I wake up on a run day and get dressed straight into my run clothes and do it - no breakfast till ive done my run ! and the whole day feels just amazing ! - do it and let us all know when you have.
Glad you loved that run, you will also love the fact that you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER by completing run 3 of week 6 😊 🏃🏾, onwards and upwards to week 7 which are all 3 /25 minute runs 🏃🏾.
Thank you so so much - its a great feeling isn't it. I just said to someone that when i do the run I always pump the air with joy like ive won gold and the crowd are cheering!! thats how amazing i feel when i complete it. Keep going - we are RUNNERS!.......(never thought i would ever say that !)
Thank you - yeah, its been a huge development and something i thought i would never ever have done. And I'm so proud of myself, not once have i ever said - i don't want to do this, or i want to stop etc....i see each one has a huge goal and Im loving that feeling. I still pump the air when im done like ive won a gold medal !
Brilliant! Well done to you, sounds like you’ve got this running thing to a tee! Good advice re exercising up on balls of feet before the walk, I will try that! Enjoy your relaxation 😊
thank you - yeah it works well, i had the advice from a friend of mine who said the 5 min walk is great, but warm up for that too ! and he was so right - i get no pain or feelings of wanting to stop now with my legs hurting...its been great. Just done another run !.....post coming in 2 mins !
