So...after a bit of humming & harring I swallowed my pride & re-installed C25K on my phone...backtracked to week 6 simply because that where I feel most confident starting back & off I went.
I am glad to say that it really helped...instead of flailing about not really knowing what to do & getting fed up when i kept having to stop & walk...i was back to actually being allowed to stop & walk which made the running bits in between much better.It's the first time I have been out & enjoyed my run & felt good for it in about 6 weeks so I am a very happy bunny 😊 I am not seeing this as a backwards step but a step back UP to where I was before 😊
Also got given a new type of inhaler yesterday which should help ease the hayfever symptoms on my chest.
Rocking the Mr Men today as they havn't seen the light of day in a while 😉
Thanks so much for all your support...I couldn't do any of this without you lovely lot 😊 I hope I am still allowed as I am clearly not bridgeing to 10K just at the moment 😣
Sometimes it’s nice to be told what to do so there’s no thinking about it. And you are rocking the Mr Men leggings I can only dream about being able to wear those ☺️
Oh totally!!!having lost so much fitness i became stuck & had no clue what to do next.at this point it would be very easy for me to become dispondant but i refuse 😉
Gorgeous leggings. And a v good way to combat the despondency. I really like being told what to do by the app it takes away the whole stress of managing it yourself, and also v easy to see the progress. Well done you. You’re still running.
Well done, and a really good idea. If there's one thing I have learned in 6 years of running, it's that we all have ups and downs. Sometimes it's injury, sometimes there are just too many other things going on, sometimes we lose our mojo. And guess what - the roads are always still out there for us, and we can always start up again Brilliant attitude, fab leggings - happy running to you!
I am a Little Miss Messy as regards my organisational skills but I always having a running plan on my desk 😁👍🏃♀️
Yay! so happy to see you happy and back out there. Good for you! you stuck with it, silenced the gremlins and overcame considerable obstacles to get back out there. and you look AMAZING!!! xxx

But you beat the depression and lack of motivation. It can only make you stronger xxx
Meanwhile, look what arrived in the post yesterday (they slipped into my virtual basket, honest, I didn't order them deliberately - me???) sturdybydesign.com/product/...
Great plan! Now you can feel you are achieving again. My bridge to 10k started at about week -10 I think. But it was structure and it meant I could progress a little each week without the frustration and knock backs. It worked for me. Good luck, magic 10 here you come
Good to see you back out there again . Thats the great thing about running , its always there ready to get back into . Life gets in the way sometimes, we get ill, unmotivated , too busy etc , but even a little canter around the block can work wonders and help us get back on track .
Sure you will speed through those C25k runs! Good you have got your inhaler too and your Mr Men leggings 😀
I had a bad one this evening ran 3.5k in 25 mins and just felt I wanted to stop so I walked back home.I wasn’t overly tired just couldn’t motivate myself to carry on. Think I need to start taking water on my runs. Bit disappointing but will go out again tomorrow or Saturday and do another longer one. My determined head just wasn’t on today!
Ah bless you...all mine feel like that since i have not been well & forced to take a break 😕 its so frustrating!!!fingers crossed your next one will be much better 😊
