Just completed my W2R3. Oh my word, already scared about next week! I was ready to drop at the end of the 90 seconds.
I think l need to focus on my mind more as l think that might be more about what l need to overcome to keep at it. When my legs say stop l need to hammer home what l am trying to achieve.
Well done.
Have you read the guide to the plan? healthunlocked.com/couchto5... which gives basic advice.
Just relax into it. We tend to put too much pressure on ourselves.
Hi wmw, you are doing fine, every run you do builds your stamina, ready for the next session.
Run slowly, you are learning to run for a gradually increasing time. The program works and although the run may test you it is doable. You may feel puffed, but going slowly will enable you to do each run interval and recover a little during the walk break.
I hope you read the guide to the plan that lannodatruffe has given you the link to. Trust the program, trust yourself and be positive..
Good luck with Wk3 R1😊x
You can do this !
I have JW as my coach and although I fell out with her last week - she's great - she's right it does get easier and you have to tell yourself you git this you can do it !
You need to switch it round, don't think about next week, bask in the glow of what you've achieved this week 😀😀
Keep it slow xx
Just go as slowly as you need to. I set myself little targets as I run. For example, I think to myself I am just going to make it to that tree. When I get to the tree I think I'll get to that lamppost. It just seems to break the run down a bit!
Thank you for these replies, great tips/encouragement xx
Take IannodaTruffe 's advice.. and keep it gentle
relax and begin to enjoy
Fish, chips and mushy peas!
