Week 9 Run 2

[gillyft]

I have managed to complete all of the runs on the programme up until today. I just couldn't do it. I ran out of breath and couldn't push past it. What a disappointment. So near yet so far! Still, I suppose everyone has off days.

They do... maybe excitement! Slow down and just cruise up the podium

You are so right we all have had bad days my run felt really hard going today ! You maybe needed an extra rest day! Take a rest day & podium will be waiting for you😊

So this was a practice run for the main event, just go out nice and slow and keep it that way and you'll be fine

Don't let it get you down! i had a couple of really tough runs in week 8, so I know exactly what you mean...

so, yes, everybody has off days - the most important thing is that you try again next time

[gillyft]

Thanks everyone for your encouragement. Really appreciated.

If any consolation, I struggled with all 3 in week 8 and felt really disheartened. But carried on with wk 9 and graduated so it’s definitely not over. Keep slow and steady and you can do this x

Yes I was the same on week 9, couldn't understand what happened and felt quite disheartened. I actually took longer to get there in the end, had a longer rest between and only attempted it when the weather was right ie. not windy.

You'll get there! Don't worry.
