Push through the bad to feel the good

On bad days when the last thing you feel like doing is running

When you think ... I need to run today but I can’t because ...

Just do it.

If it pains bad .. stop

If it niggles keep running and see how it goes ... if it starts to pain bad .. stop

If you’re tired ... try and give it a go ... you might feel better for trying

If you’ve had a bad day definitely do it

All I can say is trust your own judgement but unless your seriously injured and in pain or ill 🤒 🤧😷 try ...

We can always think of a million reasons not to do but...

Once you start ... those reasons usually disappear so long as you..

Don’t go too fast

Don’t go too far

Don’t expect too much too soon.

This is an amazing program and all I can say is don’t doubt your abilities... if you follow the advice and the programme to a T you will truly surprise yourself with what you are capable of.

Jog on lovely peeps ...you can all do this 👍🏻❤️❤️❤️

Wise words, Mummarunna! I'm sitting here (as a summer graduate), trying to talk myself out of running this morning (it's going to rain, I've had a busy week at work and feel really tired, it's going to be sunny tomorrow (nicer for running), I haven't run for a fortnight so might not be able to do 30 mins); I could go on.

Your post has made my mind up to GO NOW!! Who knows what could happen before tomorrow which could stop me going then. Half a banana, a cup of tea, get dressed and I'll be out in half an hour.

Thanks again 👍
