This week, I ran for a total of 24 minutes. Again, nothing to you guys who have been running for donkeys, but to me, who the week before Christmas was struggling with 2.5 minutes - this is now huge!
3 sessions of 8x1min walk/jog was the task for this week. And that task was achieved. Next week is 5x2 mins walk/jog. BRING. IT. ON!!
What I'm doing to help me is noting what the next week's task is, and trying it myself on either the Saturday or Sunday prior to the week I'm due to start it. That way at the jogScotland club, I already KNOW I can do it, so I'm a bit more settled mentally. I'm not thinking I need to beat Usain Bolt. I'm not thinking I should be keeping up with the guy in front of me. I'm not thinking that I'm keeping anybody back. And I'm not thinking of each passing second and wondering ow much longer I have to go.
I'm just running. Following on from last week's blog, I'm much more relaxed, much more assured of what I am doing, and much more determined than I have ever been, to succeed.
