Get Running Forums

Got a rest day today, it will be the last run of week 4 on wednesday and on the weekend week 5 starts. I have reduced my speed too - I have been thinking the same thought of completion rather than speed- it was about 8 pm for my last run - rain wind and cold.

Week 4 

Started week 4 yesterday - didn't push myself too much,  tried to finish it - however  looked at running technics on u tube - will attempt to adopt them on Monday's run - there is a lot of stuff about running to help. 

Going to start my week 4 today - didnt get home until 2 pm (driving from kent to midlands) this morning , so will go around 5 pm tonight - not looking forward to it as the runs are longer. It's also going to be cold too.

An interesting account; of what a lot of us , i suspect, desire; the open road and a freedom to move freely without boundaries. Here is the thing; size, weight might be a a perceived restriction and you might need an element of self motivation to get going on the first few runs, however when you do ...
