Got home and I was soooo hungry I ate lots of leftover chicken and baked potato. Then I had the slowest run for a while as I dragged my swollen belly around for 30 mins and 3.6 km.

then finally started to feel better so I popped an extra 8min Km in the back pocket. So I am in credit ju ju people.

As I am doing the weeks back to front Fridays run can now be 7 mins. 😂

Ps mummycav. I got my groove on at 4K to Waterloo ABBA. 🕺🏼 I was bopping along and getting strange looks from the dog walkers. You have started something!!!!

Yeah... enjoy that 7 minutes! 🤣

Good stuff... apart from maybe the pre-run fuelling, but we live and learn. Careful not to overrun the plan as it steps up, but this week is more than fine as you’re probably running less than you’re used to anyway.

To late. I had a rough week last week as you know with the C25k plus. so Sunday I just ran. Ended up 45 mins and 5.6km. Built my confidence a lot but I paid for it Monday. Back on plan now and avoiding those podcasts like the plague 👍🏼 Friday I will do a fast 15 and stop. Then Sunday and the big one. Can’t wait.

Yeah, I didn’t get on with the one I tried, but I think that had a lot to do with the music (I hate being told what to listen to)

Good to see your confidence is up... that belief really helps.

It’s just so weird. It’s counterintuitive that one run can be so easy and then you hit a slump. So I am guessing 60% of this running game is psychological. Oh and having a banana before a run not half a Sunday lunch.

Maybe 90%! Tough runs come... they’re usually followed by nice smooth ones

You did better than us, we had a dog visitor and by the time he’d gone home we were all out of enthusiasm for wanting to go out in the dark cold and wet so well done

But doggy was well looked after so you get a credit for that 👍🏼✅ bet you catch it up anyway.

Great run but I think maybe take more food to work to eat during the day😀 I wish I liked running with headphones then I too could boogie instead of just talking to myself. Run happy

I have bone conductive treks aftershokz which leave your ears free for hearing.

Sounds like you’re having fun. 😄 But do watch the total weekly increase rate. Too much too soon gets paid for in the end.... (not meaning to be a killjoy; just saying...)
