Just completed wk 9 run 1. I managed the 30 minutes run and almost 4K. Was really hard and doesn’t seem to be getting any easier, although I am improving week on week. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™‚οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

It sounds to me as if you are doing amazingly. I did w9r1 on Tuesday and I only managed 3.3k, so well done you. I can't say I find it easy either. I just keep thinking I must be improving my health and hopefully eventually the rest will come! I'd love to be able to run 4k. I'll aim for that; you can aim for 5k πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

Ah thank you. I was thinking of doing a week 10 and adding 2 minutes on etc until I get to 5k. Run 2 on Sunday.

Good luck with your run 2. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Well done.

If any run is hard, just slow down.

Can you speak aloud, clear, ungasping sentences as you run?.........if not, you are going too fast for your current fitness level.

No I cannot really speak properly and my breathing is really noisy! I tired the belly breathing today which was better. I’m recovering from a year of breast cancer treatment too (still ongoing!). πŸ™‚
