Run Week 2

Day 4

Wednesday, I wasn’t feeling well. I started this weeks run on Wednesday, because I went to a cottage with my family for the long weekend. On the app, I had a feature turned on that whenever I stop running the app automatically pauses. I saw that it paused after my run and turned that setting off. My heart rate was 156 bpm.

Day 5

On day 5, I did my run in the morning at around 8 am. I couldn’t do it later, because I had classes till 6 pm and then had to go out with my parents and also had a Raptors game at night. Waking up in the morning knowing that I need to run is hard, and for me I hate running in the morning. My heart rate was 184 bpm.

Day 6

Day 6 was the worst out of all the 6 days. I had work from 9 pm to 1 pm, doing carts. and then it was also raining. I got soaked at work and then I also needed to run in the rain. Mid run it started to rain, I didn’t stop and I finished my run. I’m starting to regret what I did, because i’m starting to catch a cold. My heart rate was 156 bpm.

Week 2 Question

Q: What barriers are you facing during this process? (physical, mental, motivational, logistical, etc) Explain.

A: The main barrier that i’m facing is that the foot I broke always hurts when I run. I try to ignore it during the runs, but the pain becomes unbarable after a certain point. There are also other barriers, such as waking up early and trying to get into the mood to run.
