W4R1 Seems like a massive leap

[deviate66]

Well I went out and did W4 R1 last night and does anyone else thing this is a massive leap... Seems like nealry a 50% increase in running overnight. Did my best to complete the run although some steps and a rbusy road crossing kinda help me up for a few seconds. On the flip side I guess it does mean I have plodded further and longer than I have done for decades.. :-). Just gotta be careful with those calf muscles.. I can almost feel them creak under the strain of it all. No stitches though (prob because I am going so slow).

I'm now on W5 and so far every week has seemed like a massive leap! Having said that, it has also been achievable. Well done!

Awesome achievement and yes I thought it was a huge leap, but I did it too. Good luck for the next run. We can do this.

Cheers for the positive comments guys, think the steady pace is what is needed... I'll worry about speeding up a bit later one.

Slow and steady seems to be the key.

Well did my second run yesterday and felt it was a little easier than W4R1. I did however have to ease off in teh last minute or two due to a message from the left calf muscle of the 'don't push you luck sonny'. Lets see what tomorrow brings..!! Deffo feeling it a bit this week as the muscles are aching a little which is suggesting effort requriements are increasing..
