Week 4 again

I started Week 4 again and Run 1 and I did it without pausing Laura for the final 5 minutes.

I suspect a lot of it was in the mind but I also felt physically better.

It's amazing how much better I feel not just compared to Week 1 but just compared to a few runs ago.

I enjoyed my porridge and celebrated by putting a second coat of paint on the kitchen ceiling.

Very happy.

Congratulations! It's taken me many weeks to complete a week 4 run without pausing; now I just have to do it twice more.

Me too now. Just 2 more.

It sounds like your battle with Week 4 has been monumental. But you are getting there. Slowly I hope!

Me too.. taken so many weeks to get through run 1 of week 4, had to really slow down the pace to get through that last 5 mins. Let’s hope run 2 and 3 get easier 😃

I can't say it got easier, but at least I knew I could do it, which helped me in the last minute or two.

Not what you're looking for?
