Didn't even finish the app in time....

Arghhhhh I've got my first 5k run tonight. The London Electric run & I'm still 3 runs of graduating. I am soooo nervous I'm not gonna be able to do it & let my team mates down. The fist runners set off at 8.30pm & the race is until 11.30pm I'm gonna be nodding off while running anyways hope ure all having a less stressful/nerve wracking day than me xxx

I did the exact same thing when I signed up for sport relief 5k - had only done up to week8 and doubted myself - but the excitement of pre run gathering and the encouragement of the organisers and my running partners plus a different route and the promise of a 5k milestone drove me on and I did it - damned hard but a great big buzz which lasted for days!! Go go go and best of luck!

Oh I hope I'll feel the same later. It's more the journey etc that's making me nervous. Going with a group of girls from work so should be a laugh. Just so nervous about actually doing it xxx

My first ( and actually my only, so far) 5K ,was a race for life in October. I was v nervous before hand but take it steady, don't go too fast and you will be surprised how much the sense of occasion helps. I kept re winding the stepping stones podcast from Laura for music accompaniment

Thank you xxx

Just go out there with the intention of enjoying yourself and count anything else as a bonus. You'll no doubt do very well. Good luck and best wishes.
