Yes guys! The advice worked. Today I ran in the afternoon which was different from my morning runs. I remember getting onto that last 5 minutes! Then I took on board danzargo's (a grad here) advice and not only did my speed increased at the end, but i still had a tankful (I stayed with Laura though, to avoid any injuries)
BIG BIG thank you to adidas1961 , Slow_Rob , henpen90 and runswithdogs for the support too! It sounds like a graduated lol, I am only half way but it feels so good to run the whole way.
I will run week 4 two more times, before I try week 5 next week! Love the support here c:
Hooray! Congratulations on getting over that hump. Some runs for whatever reason feel tougher and certainly deserve a pre-graduation celebration. This sounds like yours. Well done on conquering that mental hill. Keep us posted on your progress and happy running.
Well done Pikaree so pleased for you you are the one doing the hard work onwards and upwards always it is a great sense of achievement when you have a good run remember that on the not so good ones, which of course you wont have

Yeah definitely, as soon as i began to trust my body I could sense the achievement. I haven't felt this good in ages! Running is definitely rewarding!

Thats great. It is amazing what we can do and what running does in many ways
Thank you both! I will keep moving ahead! I know the challenges are still yet to come for week 5 and 6. I will definitely keep posted! I feel this forum will help me through xD
Wahhay! Well done. Cause for a celebration me thinks! I like you have turned to support from the forum for wk4. I used a self reward system for wk 4- which was if I made it I would buy myself some trainers. I haven't thought past that yet - but I intend on using the same thing again when I find myself challenged.
Mental agility is all. Positive mantras. Use everything you can- the advice and support on here is fantastic! Good luck and keep us posted!
Definitely an achievement for me. I havent been able to run this long ever! And if it wasn't for the amount of support here, it would have been so much harder. And yes I have week 4 to tackle 2 more times!
Self reward system is a good idea actually. Since my trainers are nearly worn out, I think that might also be my reward for the end of this week Wish you the best for the runs too!
