The All New MSE Running Club.

Currently recovering from Week 3 Day 1! Those 3 minute runs were killers but I was determined to get through them and I did although on the second rotation I was pretty slow. Day 2 will hopefully be a bit easier.

Well done on the 9km lesley74 :T That's a great achievement and you definitely should be proud of yourself to have got through it even if weren't happy with the time (which sounds good to me!)

Hi 1940sGal, good to hear more success stories.

Day 2 is a lot easier, believe me.
Last night was day 1 of week 3 for me, surprisingly not as bad as I expected. Had to wait util after 7pm as it was really hot yesterday. Going to try to get out the same time tomorrow then do 3rd one on Sunday, these weeks are getting shorter :rotfl:
Good luck with day 2!

That's all in your head. You have more than enough fuel in your body to run for a couple of hours unless you've been starving yourself.

Not in my head at all. I'm just not one of those people who can go for ages without eating. I get a headache, feel sick and start to get very short tempered if I get too hungry and that's without adding exercise into the equation. If I run without eating first I find it harder and am lightheaded when I finish. I'm also starving the next day even if I eat well afterwards. If I eat before I'm much better - I may still struggle and find it hard - but I don't get lightheaded and not as hungry the next day. People are different, not everyone can go out and run without eating first even if they should be able to in theory. Things like medication can also affect appetite and hunger levels - I know mine does.

I certainly couldn't do any form of excersise without haven't even just a light snack beforehand. If I'm going out first thing it would be a banana, cereal bar or yogurt.
2nd day of week 4 completed last night, going to do the 3rd tomorrow morning if the weather is like today (cloudy -cool)
Ds kindly informed me last night that the field I drag myself around is actually 1k!!!! I can not imagine myself running around it once never mind 5 times, but I'm determined to do my best ��

Very warm here toďay so only managed 3k (21min 55 seconds). I'm really not good at running in the heat - I start to get all hot and bothered. I usually dislike winter as it's so cold but I find that it's far easier to run in than the heat of summer.

I'm hoping for a brief cold spell on 5th July when I do Race for Life. Either that or I'll be running with ice packs strapped to me

I'm with you there. When it gets very hot in summer i have to run either early morning or late evening. I once ran around mid afternoon, 3ish, and it was so hot. Never again! I like to have a drive to a local NT property now. Loads of woodland and loads of shade to run through. Makes it perfect when the temp rises with the added bonus of it being just me and the birds
