I'm just one run behind you, so I'm keen to find out how you get on! Hopefully it's the same as the previous weeks where you think it's a lot worse than it actually is. Good luck! :)

Did it, too exhausted to write much more(but will later) just one question.... When will I get my normal colour back? Finished running 40 minutes ago and my face still looks like a tomato...... I'm meeting a friend for lunch too.....

I have a similar problem. I run with ankle supports on, and also my running trousers have elastic at the bottom of the legs, but they're cropped, so I end up with stripy marks at various levels on my legs - then go to put on a skirt for work and hope that they fade before I leave the house :S

Lol, you sound just like me today. Didn't quite get through W4,R2 (see blog) then walked to town to meet friend for lunch. I've been longing for the 'summer' to start but this heat is not condusive to running!

Well done for pushing through, despite the heat and the lack of sleep. You are a star! :)

I ran W4R3 yesterday with thankfully no problems at all, even though it was far warmer than I'm used to. I drank loads before starting out and that seemed to help.

Anyway enough about me - Good Luck with W4, it's not proved as hard as I thought it was going to... now for week 5....
