There was also a bit of a strong breeze for the rest of the run so it was tough going but I made it. I also ran in daylight so when I trod in the puddles of rainwater and cow pats I could see them shooting up my leg as well as the usual feeling and hearing them. Nice  | |||

"I did the first run of week 6, on the app I’m using it’s 5 minutes run, walk, 8 minutes run, walk and finally 5 minutes run again. This is less than the solid 20 minutes running of last week but either I’m going faster (it’s relative; I still got overtaken by a car with a flat tyre being pushed by 2 guys) or the exercise took longer. Whatever the reason I ended up being further around my route than before so the final minute was running uphill

"Treading in the cow pats? It’s quite easy
"The run is hard but to be honest it’s no worse than the other runs. I found week 1 hard and so was week 2. The message really is that it’s difficult but achievable and if you don’t make it then do it again 2 days later until you crack it. You’re not in a normal running club here where everyone is wonderfully fit, we can fail at stuff sometimes but then have another go. Determination will see you through rather than muscle and you’ll feel great when you do it | |||

"Not really, but I don’t know if that was because it was windy or there was still a lot of walking. Letting you all into a little secret here but I’m not terribly fit, however when I failed in week 3 or 4 I repeated it and that’s what I’ll keep doing. It is extremely surprising to be running up a hill that you were staggering up a few weeks ago, and rewarding too" You're fitter than you were a few weeks ago | |||

" Quick question for all you crap runners - the gym? Y/N? easier to motivate yourself?" Personally i hate the gym. I find it so boring and i have little enthusiasm to go or do anything if i manage to get there. I find it easier (well not easy but slightly easier) jogging outdoors | |||

The amount of exercise is going up with our fitness so it feels just the same. (Don’t get me wrong - it feels shit - but the happy/buzzy/smug feeling after is pretty cool!) | |||

I can only explain it as the Milgram experiment where some innocent mug is told to give electric shocks to an unseen person in another room; it's to show that given instructions by someone in authority we will keep doing stuff even if the person receiving the shocks appears to be dead!

"I ran last night, it was run 2 of week 6 which is two 10 minute runs with 3 minutes of walking in the middle. I was exhausted at the end but did it. Friday is 25 minutes of running, no breaks
I can only explain it as the Milgram experiment where some innocent mug is told to give electric shocks to an unseen person in another room; it's to show that given instructions by someone in authority we will keep doing stuff even if the person receiving the shocks appears to be dead!
