Run 2 of Week 5 done! It was super cold again but now I have padded out my Spotify playlist with Jul, PNL, The Doors, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Guns n Roses, Dire Straits, French and Russian rap.. I’m unstoppable haha. 2 x 8 minutes went pretty well, a little sore in the calves and hamstrings at first but that went away.
Really happy to be able to run for 16 minutes! I need to get tracksuit pants now I think because cargo shorts aren’t cutting it any more at 10:30 at night lol
That’s an eclectic playlist that’s bound to keep you on your toes! 🎶
W4 is a milestone week, well done, such an achievement 🤩
Keep up those stretches and top up that water glass 😃 Onto W5! 👊🏼💥
Hardcore. I gave up on shorts 4 weeks ago. Gives you a modicum of knee protection if you fall over like I did earlier on in the programme.
Good to see that soreness melts away when you're running.
I completed that run last night too. Have been deliberately not looking ahead so was surprised to see a different run pattern than run 1. Feeling dead chuffed to make it through two 8 minute runs and wanted to say well done to you too. We’re nearly proper runners!
I’m nowhere near as hardcore as you, the shorts got packed away a while ago!
Run three tomorrow?
Well done! The weather is a challenge now isn’t it? I’m following your posts as I’m at the same stage as you. W5R3 today and I’m a tad anxious! 20 minutes of non-stop running?! Music is so important for me too - The Chemical Brothers and Fat Boy Slim are getting me through! 😁 I also downloaded a cheering crowd to end my run to - a bit sad but I feel such a sense of achievement that it’s lovely to feel like I’ve won The London Marathon after each run!!! Keep going! 💪🏻
