Getting back in the running saddle

Been having a lot of difficulty with runs recently, stopping after 10 mins to catch my breath before running again then only for a further 5mins before the same again.

So it was back to Laura week 9 and yes it works!!!!

I am back now runnng 40 mins (6km) non stop & feeling good again.

Looking forward to my runs instead of dreading them.

Aim now is to get back up to 10km, but no rush.

Laura to the rescue! ;) Glad it worked and you will be back at 10k in no time I'm sure.

It's very reassuring to hear Laura's voice again, isn't it? I think it's the mental conditioning - you know you did it the first time so you know you can again! 40 minutes is great - all the best with the push back up to 10k :)
