Afternoon All 😊

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 πŸ˜‰

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 πŸ˜‰

Oh those leggings are cracking! If you don't get a good run when you're covered in Mr Men then there's something very funny going on.

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.

β€’ in reply toEmmaRunning

Yes thats what i think too...thankyou 😊

I'm currently struggling with the 10 so I'm using an app to do the intervals for me. We can be Appy together ;-)

Haha yes...lets just be "Appy" 😊

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!

Thankyou 😊 very wise words 😊

β€’ in reply to

Ah bless you...i NEED to run for many reasons & getting stuck in a vicious circle is just about my worst nightmare but hopefully this will help get me back up to where i was x

But you beat the depression and lack of motivation. It can only make you stronger xxx

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 :)

Morning Claire !

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 .

You look amazing btw, I LOVE your leggings ! :-) xxx

β€’ in reply topoppypug

Ah bless you thankyou 😁 a canter round the block...love it πŸ˜‰

Sure you will speed through those C25k runs! Good you have got your inhaler too and your Mr Men leggings πŸ˜€

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!

β€’ in reply toAndG

Ah bless you...all mine feel like that since i have not been well & forced to take a break πŸ˜• its so frustrating!!!fingers crossed your next one will be much better 😊
