Ran W5R1 today - and it was the easiest run of the program so far! Believe me I have not found it easy up till now, but today everything went so well, even my legs were not acting up. I felt could have carried on running (well I sneaked an extra 30 seconds before thinking Laura knows best).
Is this a gentle run to give us confidence for R2 & then the terrifying R3?
I can't answer this as I have only done week 1 so far but I love your scepticism. I would think exactly the same way. But how about thinking, "Wow this running thing is really taking off. I flew through that run. Well done me"? No?
Well done from me anyway and all the best for R2 and R3.
Thank you - I love the positive message! My fingers are firmly crossed for R2. Well done to you for achieving week1 - that's really the biggest step of all.
Well done for getting to W5. I start my W5 tomorrow and haven't listened to the PC yet so don't know what it entails, but I found W4 not too bad really so hoping W5 will be ok
and well done to you for getting to Week5. Good luck with the runs this week. Hope all goes well for you.
I've just complete W3, and up till now I have just listened to the podcasts without checking beforehand what they entail. I just checked W4 and 5 now and I'm scared!
Don't be scared of week4 - trust Laura, honestly its OK and I'm a real couch potato. You'll find your stamina has really developed. When she tells you that you've run more than you've walked, its an amazing feeling. Cant help with w5 - I'm petrified of R2 and trying not to imagine R3 - 20minutes!!!
Fish, chips and mushy peas!
Hello all - 71 years old and hoping to run!
