*Hello*Diet & Running.

Wow - I found this forum completely by accident - I have just finished w3r3 today and I really really struggled, my diet has been naff this week and am feeling frustrated with myself, I then realised that running for 3 minutes is an achievement in itself but I'd set the treadmill incline to 1.0, and I remember seeing that I'd climbed 24metres!!! No wonder I struggled and had a 10 second rest on the first and 2nd 3min run.

I'm hoping the incline made the run that bit more difficult and I'm not just kidding myself.

I'm due to commence W4R1 on Sunday and to be honest am dreading it.

I've lost no weight but do feel better - I was expecting the body of a goddess by now, but alas!

I am confused with what food I should be eating before or after a run, or is normal diet ok??

Hi there and welcome x, sounds like you're doing really well and running on an incline too. Keep it up. I have a mouthful of banana and a drink before I go out andI usually give myself a little time after a run to eat, I just find I'm not really hungry, but normal food is just fine is just fine. Keep going.

Hi I am also due to do run 1 week 4 on Sunday, daunting isn't it. I have been fairly negative about each increase and I have had lots of really helpfully comments about believing in myself and trusting in the programme which I am really trying to do, but week4 is seriously more running! I haven't decided if I am going to do another week 3 run as each one has got easier or to try week 4 and not worry if it's too much. Good luck I hope it goes well
