Week 4 🤔

Week 4 run 3 completed but that was a very up and down week. Run 1 was a challenge to say the least but after all the good advice and suggestions from you lovely people I set out on run 2. Yes, you were right I could and did run slower, concentrated on breathing and keeping it slow and steady, my mantra was don't attack the hill just run it and guess what? Run 2 completed with no problems. Then I had to take a 3 day break because of ankle pain (& the hot weather) back out today running in the rain (fast becoming my favourite thing) and run 3 done with no problems. I'm undecided whether to move straight on to week 5 or whether to repeat week 4. See how I feel after a couple days break and see how the ankles are tomorrow.

Well done on completing week 4.I would suggest as you completed week 4 then you are ready for week 5.

No need to keep repeating weeks you have already done .

The progression of the program is well tried and tested and it works !

Just follow the same advice and keep the runs slow 😁

Well done I’m on a similar track myself but I’d always say listen to your body . And that the main thing is you are out 3 times a week exercising and if you can keep that up the future is bright ! Go girl !

Thanks for your lovely words, we're doing great aren't we 🏃‍♀️. Planning to try W5 R1 later today (depending on the weather) & fighting my tendancy to overthink the first run of a new week. Go us😃
