Week 8 Run 1 Done

[RunDone]

These longer runs, uninterrupted by walking are great. It's interesting that the first few weeks of the program I was focused on the breaks not the running (always looking at how much running I wouldn't be doing as my motivation!) But now it's all about the running and learning to pace myself.

also, I can really feel how much fitter I have become now. I'm 55 and have a 4 year old son and it's great to be able to move better when playing with him, kicking a football, playing tag, or even just carrying him when he's asleep.

Brilliant, you are near graduation and hey you’ve noticed the benefits already

[RunDone Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Yup - looking forward to graduating, but also already planning beyond that. This has really been a life changing few weeks.

Definitely sounds like you’re on the right track track! Taking to this like a natural!

I'm really amazed how much I've been enjoying it. I expected it to be a chore that I'd make myself do because it was good for me - I never expected that i'd actually look forward to it!

That’s a massive positive- hope it’s still going well- keep building on this!
