Hi I'm Bronwen. I'm on the run up
to my 60th birthday and have just completed the first run for week 4. It was so hard but I'm feeling great now! I find it a bit frustrating that 2 years ago I was running 5k three time a week having built up from nothing and after losing 4 stone. Some of the weight (2 stone)has crept back on but I've now got my head back in it and am determined - it's just hard work!! Looking for encouragement!!
Hi i could be your twin😂 I graduated last October & i was running 5k several times dealing with wee hills!!! & then i fell in black ice fortunately only a few bruises but my knee & hip played up & i just got out the way of it! Lost a stone & a half but struggling to get any more so decided to get back to running as i tend to eat healthier then!! O dear so hard getting back into it but last night i managed week5 run 3 & chuffed as continued walking & running till i got to 4k!! Then went a walk for 5.5 k! Shin was a bit sore but fortunately all ok today😊 so we need to keep each other going & it has been really hard motivating myself but im 60 end of july & really want to be able to do 5k by my birthday & then get the courage to go to a parkrun!!! A lot to be said that our mindset is so important so we must remind ourselves to trust the program & we did it before & can do it again!! Good luck & il look out for you😊👍Phyllis 😊
Thanks for your reply! We must be twins! I'm really determined at the moment but there are so many hills round here. In some ways it helps because I keep my mind busy working out how I can coincide my walks my time with the uphills!! It doesn't always help but mind games are my way of keeping going. Onward and upwards!
You will find lots of encouragement here so keep posting!!
Well done you for getting your head back in the game. You already know you can do this...keep going 🏃🏼♀️
Thank you!
