W8r2 Hardest yet

[lou-34]

Last night I did run 2 week 8 and really struggled, i took it really slow (any slower and i would be walking lol). I nearly had to stop but when Laura said 5 minutes left i was determined to finish. I pushed through and did manage to run for 28 minutes. Im not looking forward to my my next run, does anyone have any tips?

I think you just need to trust that it will get easier and run with faith. You've come a long way, as Laura keeps telling us, so don't lose confidence now!

Tell us how the third run goes.

Thanks Steve, I will do. 😊

For some reason the second run of each week is often the hardest. You pushed through and finished though, so well done. I'm sure the relief of finishing the week will carry you through your next run

I've just finished W8R3, I did it, but like you found it a bit of a challenge. Well done for pushing on through! I'm going to do more warm up excercises before setting off, plus the 5 min warm up walk.

I had some good advise in replies to my post entitled , Week 8, no walk in the park. It may help you too, week 9 here we come!

Thank you for your replies, I woke up the day after full of a cold and with a bad chest so I think that might be why I found it so hard which makes me feel a bit better. I'm going to have a few days off until I've recovered and Carry on with week 8 run 3. Graduation is in sight 😊
