I did week 4 run 1 😁

[Couch56]

I was dreading week 4 run 1, didn't think I could do it. I took an extra rest day then thought I'd give it a try after all the words of encouragement. It was hard, but I just took it a bit slower and pushed myself. Calf muscles feeling it so need to do a fair bit of stretching. Very proud of myself. Only managed due to the support group here, thanks folks.😀

Well done, see - we knew you could do it

Slow and steady, just keep at it and have faith in yourself. You will be amazed at what you can do.

You didn't need to dread week 4 of C25K Couch56, well done on completing run 1 of week 4✅🏃, that's the week of running for 3 minutes twice, running for 5 minutes twice with a few 90 seconds walking breaks as well, that was wise that you gave yourself a extra rest day, I am sure you enjoyed your run, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 4, 🏃✅

congratulations! I’m the same, ran week 4 run 1 yesterday. I had real doubts but did it too. I found it really hard. I’m sore today!

Well done. I had to do lots of stretching today and had to keep moving as was quite sore after the run. Might be worse tomorrow. Good luck on week 4 run 2.😀

Loads of great ideas for those stretches on the S and F forum too ! x

Yee Haw!! Excellent. So many times the upcoming run can be a mental challenge! You'll find the programme prepares you pretty well.

I'm sure the extra day of rest helped. I often do that if I've got a few lasting niggles from a run.

Keep us posted on the rest of Week 4!
