I huffed and I puffed

[Charlottefc87]

But I ran for 25 minutes!!! ME! Fan-daby-dozy!!

The first 5 minutes felt hellish but I kept jalking on and think I got a more steady pace going, as next thing I knew Sarah told me it was halfway & then 20 minutes done. My legs are like jelly but I'm feeling well chuffed!

I suppose it's time to greet week 7 now.....crikey 😬

Keep at it. I'm with Laura, it is honestly more mind over matter now!! You're doing really well.

Thank you, yes I think you are right. For me, It is definetly a mental challenge to get past the 'i can't do this' mindset, even though I keep proving myself wrong!

Very well done you! You are doing wonderfully!

Keep it slow and steady and you will make it to that podium! The runs are really enjoyable from now on too.... let your running legs take you through each run in a lovely relaxed way... and enjoy!

Thank you Oldfloss , I'm looking forward to the next one (I think!) that podium is almost in sight!

Personally really like the 'huffers and puffers' because success did not come easy - it's hard earned and the dedication and commitment involved is inspiring to everyone else.

Well done. Well done indeed

[Charlottefc87 Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Thank you, that's a great way to look at it - I shall huff and puff with pride!

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Charlottefc87]

Excellent!!

Brilliantly done, the hard fought runs are quite often your best runs. You may have had jelly legs, but we spot the steely determination! Happy running in W7
