Week 7 run 3 - first practice run 😳

[Lisalou1972]

Hi guys

Can't believe this is the first run in 7 weeks that I have not managed to run the entire time required. So I'm calling it a final practice run to be repeated ( maybe tomorrow) before moving on to week 8

I've got further than I ever thought I would so I'm just going to keep on keeping on and I will get that 30 min run !!

Oh yes you will.... and we will be right there with you!

Slow and steady, then slower.... no such thing as too slow, unless running from a mad axe person!

Warm up well, then start slowly and just relax... try not to try too hard... just shake out your shoulders, put a smile on your face and be confident that you are, ever so gently and lightly, going to complete the run

I will watch for your post

I felt like I was walking faster than when I was supposedly running !! Trying again tomorrow with a new mindset and a new playlist !

I run incredibly slowly too Lisalou1972. But both times when I’ve come undone (wk 3 & wk 7 run 1) were partly because I’ve gone off too fast or not slowed my pace when I was struggling. I feel like I could run a bit faster but I try and keep my pace ‘slow and steady’ to get to the end of the run. Good luck!

WK7R2. Was nearly a practise run for me too. It's certainly a step up in intensity now were running 25 mins. You can do it. It's okay to have a practise. Don't beat yourself up about it. Just try it a bit slower next time

Not sure I can go much slower 😂

Ha ha. I know what you mean. Caught sight of myself in a shop window and thought is that running? 😂
