Week 4, Run 3 and running faster :-)

[geldster]

Wow, I can't believe I've actually finished week 4! I even found myself running faster and my route being too short! I was worried about progressing to week 5 but feel really ready for it, in fact the rests in between runs are starting to annoy me...I just want to keep running! I never ever thought I would be saying this!

Hey I just finished week4 run 3 today as well! Increased my pace for this one as I havnt found the others too taxing but I can feel my shins now!. Totally ignored lauras advice to slow down and dig in for the last fives mins. For the last minute I ran as hard as I could. I'm well chuffed considering I was a couch potato 4 weeks ago!

I finished W4 R3 today too but unlike you two I have not managed to increase my speed yet. I had slight pain in my shins after R1 but today no pain at all-I am quite surprised to see how quickly the shins are adapting. Can't wait to start W5 R1 on monday

Don't worry about speed yet. I'm going out to do W4R3 in about an hour. I found that this week has pushed me quite a lot, to the point where actually I think my speed has slowed down for the 5 minutes stints. But I can feel that I have improved so much with endurance. 4 weeks ago I nearly couldn't finish W1R1, a total of 8 mins running in 8 separate runs, now I can jog for 16 mins in only 4 separate runs!

I still can't believe that I am jogging for longer than running now either....but I always feel amazing after going out...especially when i can jump in the shower! :op
