Had to stop today!

So I set out to try and do 8.5k! This morning was just a massive struggle and I managed just under 7. I felt annoyed ana disappointed! However when I got home Strava told me I had achieved some personal records so it wasn’t all bad!

I’ve decided I’m going to not run until this blister is healed!

Don't be disappointed, you ran 7k and that is great. You're right let the blister heel and try again. Congratulations on all your pb's 😊😊

It is good and I have to remind myself it’s only 9 weeks since I started C25K so I’m still a Novice!

You ran 7k which is a great result!🙂 There’ll be another day when you can do 8.5k or whatever other distance you want to do. Take things easy and listen to your body, then you’ll get there!👍

I’m learning to listen to my body and rest more!

If you run faster it’s harder.

Seems obvious but just a small change in pace can make a big difference. Slow down a bit and all will be well.

Increasing pace and distance at the same time is a challenge.

I hadn’t realised I was running faster! I thought I was so much slower today! Felt like I was dragging my feet! I was hugely surprised when I looked at strava!

Great new PBs for you, the speed was maybe just to high for your target distance but the new pbs will hopefully have you celebrating. Happy running 🤗

Thanks! I was very despondent until I looked at strava! There is no rush and my goodness it’s so much further than I ever thought I would manage!

This has happened to me a few times. Don’t let it put you off. 7k is still a great distance 👍🏼Well done on the pbs !
