Week 4 needs encouragement

[King383]

I have just started week 4, I was doing this with another person but they have pulled out and it's disheartened be a bit but I don't want to give up like she has, encouraging is what I need

Well let's keep going, you're not doing this alone you're sharing this adventure with all of us every step of the way.

You're doing fantastic so far so all you've got to do is get out there for the next run and then most importantly come back here and tell us how you've gone on.

You CAN and you WILL do this!

Thank you

Hey , I was in a similar position, my co runner aggravated a previous broken ankle and had to stop at wk 3 . I continued alone and managed to do it! The advantage of going solo is you can run where and when you feel like it, the disadvantage is it's easier to procrastinate and not go out if you are not meeting someone else! The good thing is this forum is here if you need support or even a virtual push now and again, and you might find another willing runner on your journey to 5 k!

I think doing it alone and with you guys I will be successful

[Decker]

You've got this. We are all behind you! One day at a time. One step at a time 💪👊

[King383 in reply to Decker]

Amazing thank you

Personally I believe that you are better off doing C25k by yourself. Running with someone else is always a compromise on pace.......one or the other is either going slower or faster than their natural pace. if you want to maximise your potential, go it alone.

Sure,you have to provide all the motivation to get out of the house, but you will not be disappointed if your oppo is unavailable. Make your running routine work for you. Be disciplined and enjoy the you time.

Keep posting here and we will keep you honest.

[King383]

Thank you you are so right

[King383 in reply to Kimchoc08]

Keep going King383 youve made such progress, don't let it go to waste. You don't need someone else to motivate you. I've been doing the programme on my own so can you!

Think how good you'll feel to hen you complete the 9 weeks and graduate 👨‍🎓!

Maybe join a running club or running group near you, I went to one near me for a while that was set up to train for the Cancer Research 5K.

Or try Park Run 🏃? I'm waiting till I've graduated but you might find it helps you.

Happy Running, look forward to seeing your graduation post.
