Tomorrow morning I will be rerunning run 1 of week 4 of C25K, after the final run I will just continue on until 5K is completed.

When I doing the C25K training program just over two years ago I was doing it all from memory, I did not have the smartphone I have now, my old smartphone could only have the actual timings, nothing else so I had to memorise all the runs, week 4 was the most complex with all different times for the walks and runs, a 3 minute run, 90 second walk, 5 minute run, 2 1/2 minute walk, 3 minute run, 90 second walk and finally a 5 minute run, that was a lot to remember when I was doing it, I memorised all those runs and walks from my laptop before I went out, tomorrow I will have my smartphone with me with Laura guiding me through it all.

That guy (I'm probably supposed to know who he is) has some great back exercises on YouTube.

I'm off for some more type 2 now. 🏃‍♀️

in reply to Speedy60

Good luck!! Yes, I know him as Coach Nate as I follow the Channel.

I thought you were going to tell me he's some Olympic gold medallist I've never heard off - because I've never heard of any of them.

He's saved my back, anyway. 👍

I love the statement ' it changes your perception of what you think you can do'. It is so easy to lose confidence in your body as you age. Running helps you to trust yourself and believe in your ability! So many runners on the forum are no spring chickens, we may never run a marathon or win any races, but to trust your body can make you fearless and build trust that this old body can do what it's meant to do!

in reply to Roxdog

Exactly this! Beautifully put. We do it for us and challenge ourselves.

Thank you for this GTFC, it's helped remind me why I started to run in the first place - not to win races or be the fastest, but for me! :-)

Absolutely! And you keep being you!!

I really like this. Type 2 fun, I'm going to remember that and when my brain is telling me to stop, the pain and discomfort is what it's all about. I am 100% convinced I can mentally and emotional deal with life and all it's challenges considerably better since pushing my mind through the discomfort, self doubt, desire to just stop that is all part of the running journey. Massive thank you for sharing this 🤗

in reply to Mum22boys

I love what you have written here. Thank you.

I quoted this from Ed Stafford which I loved, 'It stretches me. It takes me outside of my comfort zone. In every single new location I have to learn new skills and have to adapt my own knowledge to get by. By doing that I'm staying alive basically. I'm allowing myself to continue to grow. If I got myself a job that didn't stretch me, didn't stretch my abilities, didn't push me outside my comfort zone, didn't make me work hard. Then I wouldn't be growing would I? I'd be stagnating.'

You really can achieve, gosh look how far you have already come. Keep being you as that'll always be enough!

Courage over comfort x

Thanks GTFC, I've thought about this a lot today, it really resonates. Looked up Ed Stafford too, really interesting.

Thanks again 😊

in reply to Mum22boys

No problem at all. I hope you are recovering and will soon be able to get back out there when the time is right. Looking forward to reading your posts again soon 😊

I need a’Love’ button to hit for this!

ALL C25k’ers should be made to watch this before starting!

Memorable take aways for me ...

.. Type 2 fun! 👌 so relatable

.. Window dressing - my love of bling! Like a child .. need rewarding.. be it a medal, a trophy, a virtual trophy or a well done from my running family on here

... Anyone can ride a rollercoaster 🎢 if they are tall enough 🤣🤣... NOT quite true... or suffer the public humiliation of being made to stand next to the wooden cut out to ensure I’m tall enough!! Protesting “but I’m an adult!!!” 🤣🤣

... ‘Becos you deserve it! Quality of life depends on it! HOW have I only just realised this? 🤷‍♀️

... star in your own movie 🎥 hmm thinking of titles now ‘Our C25k dream’

... TYPE 2 FUN!..... is right!! 👏👏 1000% not hundred but thousand!

Thank you for sharing 🙏🏻

Loved it! 👌

in reply to Tinytears60

Thank you so much 💜 it is true and sometimes we can forget this in our life. I've learnt that running and life actually have so many parallels. I love this quote too,

'Fall forward, at least I'll see what I'm going to hit.

You've had the training and talent to succeed but do you have the guts to fail? While it may be frightening it will also be rewarding. The chances you take and the people you meet, the people you love;that's what will define you. Without commitment you'll never start. Without consistency you'll never finish.

It's not how much we have but what we do with what we have.

The most selfish thing you can do in this world is help someone else. Because of the gratification and goodness that comes to you when you do it. Don't aspire to make a living. Aspire to make a difference!'

So Tinytears60 , go out there and be you. Let everyone see your rainbow! My favourite part of this quote is 'Without commitment you'll never start. Without consistency you'll never finish.' Let us always try to do both 😃
