I know how you feel about the weather, it's cold & nasty! Uninspiring!

I'm not really looking forward to Parkrun tomorrow if weathers bad, but at least It'll wake me up. Think there's a window for a few hours that the sun will be out where I am for Parkrun...😀

Good luck! My OH is doing his 100th park run tomorrow so I'm hoping for nice weather for him too. Wet n windy right now. Yikes!

I think you've made exactly the right choice, to go back to an earlier week to rebuild your confidence. I know it's a heresy, but why not leave lovely Laura at home and try a run listening to your own music, or maybe even an audiobook. You may find that running to your own tracks may be just the lift you need to see you through to the end of w7. Good luck

You mean sneak out without Laura knowing... Shhhh! I'll give it a go, but promise not to tell her!

Hi Tortoise ,

Well done to you for getting back in the saddle and getting out there .

It doesn't matter if youre plodding, shuffling or whatever, youre giving it a go and moving and that's the main thing !

You will get there , just keep at it , slow and steady wins the game .

Good Luck ! xxx

Aww thanks! Yep I feel pleased that I'm still making it out the door at least - and running (a lot) further than I used to be able to

A TOrtoise in a saddle... Hmmmm.. Maybe that's where I'm going wrong...

Hey who cares! You are out there running, getting way more exercise than you used to. There is nothing sacred about non stop running or indeed 30 minute runs. Stick at it and enjoy!

T0rtoise in reply to Ullyrunner

Thankyou. Yes much fitter than I used to be! I'll just keep at my plodding...

I think that's a fine plan. Also, if you like the run-walk intervals you could always go rogue from the program and just keep increasing the running vs walking time but still have breaks. Or add additional running intervals on to the end. Depends what your goal is, but I'm partial to walking with my running lately.

Well done on keeping going.

It's your plan so do what you are happy with....if that means staying on W5 then that's what you have to do.

Congratulations and good luck for the next run 🏃🌟🏃
