Still dragging my Couch

[Karambah]

... but by the end of Week3 it strangely seems to be getting a little lighter. It's wet, muddy and that shower at the end is welcome. Not yet been able to give any run a rating. Still hate running.

Well done.

Can you speak aloud, clear, ungasping sentences as you run?.........if not, you are going too fast.

Slowing down to the recommended easy conversational pace makes it more achievable and for most, more enjoyable.

Say this sentence out loud to yourself "Am I going slow enough to enable me to speak this sentence in one out breath?" If you cannot, you are going too fast.

Thanks. To find out, I shall be chatting to myself next time out ...

You might hate running, but I bet you feel good after you've finished each time. So it can't be all that bad.

I feel good after I take my hand out of a fire too 😉. But seriously yes. Beginning to see that this running lark isn't distance or speed, but stamina, pacing and mental determination. I have a way to go on all of these ...
