This is the first time I've blogged, but I read everyone else's with interest!
I wonder if anyone else does the same as me - if I misjudge my distance, and finish farther away than I'd expected, I always think "now, how am I going to get home?!" I usually start listening to the next podcast, just for encouragement (but just walk...I'm not mad!)
Hi, Brompette....something I do is to check my watch....at 15 minutes it's time to turn around and head back toward home, no matter where I am in the run.
I try not to do an "out and back" - I prefer a circular route..harder to judge!
Each new week I have to tweak my circular route, lots of interconnecting streets around here & so far I can just add or subtract a few as needed. Well done on getting to week 6, I've got that to aim for yet.
I'm doing the same circular route each week and am amazed at the different distances I end up from home. Last week - week 3 - I was nowhere near and had about a 10 minute extra walk at the end. This week - week 4 - I am almost home. My aim is to get a bit closer to home on run 3 tomorrow. Anything to motivate myself!
Yes, I have got carried away and ended up walking miles back to the car very often! When I was doing the programme my first outside runs (week 8 run 2 and week 9) were in minus temperatures, I didnt mind the low temperatures at all whilst running but then once I stopped running it was horrible! I soon learned to judge my route better!
