Phew! In week 6 I was enjoying running, but the last 2 or 3 runs have been really tough. It's definitely a case of needing mind over matter though, as physically the running is easier than it was in earlier weeks. But, I keep breathing and keep going. Feeling good now though. Ever onwards!
Week 8 Run 1 done!: Phew! In week 6 I was... - Couch to 5K
Week 8 Run 1 done!
Hi well done - you have only 5 more runs before becoming a graduate - nearly there! I felt the same at times and really struggled esp in weeks 7 and 8. Like you I pushed on and to my total surprise I am doing my W9R3 tomorrow and can't wait! I have to say all the advice tips and reminders posted here are so true and proven right. The crucial change I made was I slowed down a little and ran 30 min yesterday with no breaks and even ran for an extra one for luck at the end! I got a real buzz during the first few weeks which kinda disappeared for a while but the buzz is def back and i'm ready for more! Good luck for your last few runs ! Onwards and upwards!
You're doing great. Looking forward to your graduation post.
Well done, almost at the finishing line
Well done on your first run of week 8. Not long to go now. Good luck with your next run and best wishes.
