I completed W6R3 yesterday, a lovely early morning run before it got too hot. This was possibly the most enjoyable, comfortable run so far. Heeding all sensible advice about WK6, I took this week steadily but yesterday found that I had enough in the tank for a sprint finish in the last minute, encouraged by Steve Cram (just love him as a coach).
Repeating C25K this year is a very different experience, having dropped 4 stone in weight, running feels very different now. I also love the liberating feeling that I no longer feel like I shouldn’t be out there, I feel like anyone else out there, just doing their thing. Previously, I used to run before dawn to avoid being seen but those days are now long gone.
I turned 50 in January and celebrated with a style consultation to dress for my new shape. This was part of my personal project ‘Fabulous at 50!’ C25K also feels very much a part of this plan.
This forum is so full of helpful advice and support and I’m grateful for everyone who contributes, it’s great to be a part of it.
I will be relishing my rest day today and genuinely looking forward to starting WK7 tomorrow. Have a fabulous day fellow runners xxx
