Week 2 run 1

strawberrysmoothie profile image

This morning I have just completed week 2 run 1. Before I went out I had the mindset of I'll never be able to run 90 seconds. I managed it but I did it really slowly. I'm so proud of myself. I didn't let the thoughts in my head get to me. someone came with me who is on week 9 to help out and give me some tips and motivation which helped. I am so proud of myself and even managed it with back pain, even though now my back and legs are so sore. Yaaaaasss!

Well done. You are already making progress. Make sure you stretch your legs and back - it will help stop them being sore. 😀

Lose that mindset and swap it for a positive one 😊 Much more useful ☺

Well done! Lots of people talk about a positive mindset when running in later weeks, but I think it helps to have one from the very beginning. The fact you've already done a week and haven't given up is a huge achievement, so pat yourself on the back, hold your head up high and think positive thoughts! It's taken me 11 weeks to get to week 6 - but I've managed to run each session and without the support from here and a 'give it a go' attitude, I would have given up long before now 😊
