Sorry Laura.....

Haven't run since last Wednesday due to ill health and really didn't feel up to it today however, I thought I had better give something a go so went to the gym and attempted to do the first run of wk4.

I plodded with the first 3 minute run but managed to finish it, did the 90 second walk and prepared myself for the 5 minute run. I only managed to run 2 minutes of it, then walked for the rest. Then did 1 minute of the second 3 minute run, then decided to give in gracefully!!!

I really wasn't sure if I should've done week 3 again to help break myself in gently. Well I know now. I am going to do week 3 again and do my cycling and walking on my rest days because I seriously need to build my leg power and body strength back up.

Hopefully I won't have many more "disappointment" blogs and sometime soon, I will be on here cheering and telling you wk 4 is completed.

Well done to those who were starting wk4 at the same time as I was supposed to and hopefully you are all doing well.

Will keep you posted........

It is amazing how much your body suffers when you're ill! I only had a cold a few weeks ago, but I felt completely drained, and really struggled with the runs (was on W5R3 and managed 8,2,5 minutes of the 20 minute in-one-go run).

Maybe if you feel stronger in a few days, you might feel up for trying the week 4 run again, but just see how it goes!

Hope you get your strength back, and good luck with the runs!

Thanks Aytriaris. You're right when you say how much your body suffers. I just felt completely weak yesterday but I am going to keep trying. Thanks for your support.
