I have done it, but I do not know how.

My third week one run is completed but I have no idea how I managed it.

Oscar had his normal walk at just after 5AM but it felt warm then. I think it may be humid rather than hot. I took him in doors and changed into my trainers and set off. I reached the alley way just as my run started on the app. It did not feel any cooler under the trees than it did elsewhere today so I was doubtful that I was going to manage it.

I must have run a bit faster today on the first run as I was further from the end of the alley than my first run yesterday so when my walk started I continued to the end before turning back.

Half way through the third one minute run I was sure that would be the last I could do. After the 90 second walk I started the fourth leg not expecting to be able to do it but it seemed easier than the third. The fifth and sixth went well too, what's going on? I was tiring by the seventh and was glad when the eight one finished but felt I could have done one more if I had to.

I was very please (and quite surprised) how it went today. I think I will do at least another week one run so that i have three completed in a row before moving on.

I'll let you into a little secret ...

The rate at which your fitness increases will never be quicker than when you start an exercise program from the proverbial 'couch'.

More surprises are waiting for you.

Enjoy.

PS "... felt I could have done one more if I had to." ... is a very good sign and shows you were going at the right sort of pace/intensity - carry on like that and you'll be fine.
