People just don't appreciate what it is like for us Scots having to run in the heat!! Haha I was out about 11am yesterday and it was a tough slog! Well done and keep on running!! Trust me I can appreciate it. I live in the state of Georgia here in the U.S. and summers are unbearably humid. I've bee...

Week 5 run 2 done. The end of the second eight minutes came right at a hill but I pushed through it. Next up is Friday's dreaded 20 minute run.

Week 5 run 1 done with no issues. After the first 5 minutes I didn't want to stop because I had developed a nice breathing and running rhythm. Two 8 minute runs Wednesday and then 20 minutes Friday and this week will be done. I'm starting to enjoy running again.

Tomorrow starts week 5 for me with the dreaded 20 minute run. But after reading stories like yours I'm not as worried as I was.

Good job! Don't worry it gets easier.

Tomorrow is the start of the dreaded week 5.

Same here. Started back running after a long 10+ year break. I'm 45 as well and it's a lot tougher to do these runs now that I'm older. Good to know I'm not the only old timer here.

Restarted week 4 yesterday and ran all the runs. Foot seems to be fine and I made sure to loosen my shoe strings a bit. Almost didn't finish the last 5 minute run but pushed through it. Just missing that Friday run seems to have taken a little of my endurance. Hopefully repeating week 4 will get me ...

Looks like I won't finish out the week. Developed extensor tendonitis in my right foot. Think I may have tightened the shoe laces on that foot a little too tight. Gonna rest up and hopefully repeat week 4 starting next week.

Did all four runs this morning. Got into a rhythm during the last run. My speed wasn't the greatest but I kept on until I was done.
