Time to be honest.. I have just come back from holiday and I took my running stuff with me but didn't do any running. We were out all day everyday walking and sightseeing so it's not like I was sat the whole time.
Now that I'm back im finding motivation hard and I think if I post on here it will force me to go out today and restart week 2 and carry on where I left off. I guess I'm just on a bit of a holiday come down and the prospect of back to work looming and scheduling everything in!
Running shoes on, podcast / app switch on and leave the house. You'll feel great afterwards. Post on here after your run to let us know how it goes. 🌟
Great advice that I followed... Just got back! It was really hard because of the break and my legs still feel so stiff when I'm running. I don't think I have good trainers for running... They're certainly not running trainers!
So glad I did it though and it's given me motivation to do the runs this week now! Got to keep it up!
Well done! I liken it to the dentist - dread the thought of it, get on with it, never as bad as you think it will be xxx
And you feel great afterwards xxx
That's a great analogy! Haha
Excellent stuff well done you. It's hard sometimes eh x
Yes, do it!
Come on out you go. You will feel so much better about it when you have xx
Life (and holidays) happen 🙂 Just go out the door in your Running gear and take the next few "one foot in front of the other" as it happens. I don't think many here graduate "on time" anyway ☺ I was between jobs all through the programme and it still took me extra weeks to graduate and I am still working up to 5K. Slow and steady, trust the programme, read lots of posts for support and info - we are all in this together ☺
Excellent motivational advice, thank you! I went out.. It was hard but it's spurred me on to continue! This board is helping so much!
My legs still ache after running but week by week is getting easier. I'm not saying don't buy new trainers but I run in what are technically "Walking" trainers. They weren't cheap but they are well cushioned , comfortable and don't rub . Although I do plan to buy some more trainers. These will eventually wear out. Any exercise is better than being a couch potato.
The benefits of running and feeling of achievement is great. Beats being a couch potato.
Well done for making a start. Keep it up.
That's very true! My trainers offer little padding and are completely flat and I feel like my foot kind of slaps on the ground. My arch is not supported at all. I don't know if that would have an affect on my legs aching but it just feels like my running is kind of awkward and feels unnatural!
Maybe you could get some new trainers? I bought a pair at sports direct they were £35 in the sale. Really comfortable too.
You can do it 😀 I am on holiday and just finished wk 2 . Loved the change of scenery , first time ever I have taken running gear away and actually used it 😂 Keep it up if I can do this You can 😀👍
Well done for doing it whilst on holiday!! And congrats on finishing week 2, sounds like we are at a similar stage!
