Week 1 done ✅

Hi everyone! Had a hectic week so only just managed to finish W1R3 and did not enjoy!

Hoping to feel a bit more optimistic by week 2...

Sorry to bring my negative nelly vibe to the forum but hoping someone will be able to tell me that it’s normal to not always enjoy every run??

Suppose its important to just keep going!💪🏼

You did it! Focus on the achievement, feel good about that then hopefully enjoying the runs will come. I enjoy finishing...if that helps...rather than the actual running 😲 You should be proud xx

Thanks Mel for your kind words! I love hearing the bell ding and knowing you’re halfway through already...😅

I must admit, seeing your week 2 post really inspired me to move my bum and get out there today! xx

Learning to run is hard work, and sometimes hard work isn't fun. Be proud of each achievement. Some runs will feel great and others won't. Don't let it deter you.

That is so true, if it was easy it would be boring! Thanks for your encouragement ☺️

Well done on completing week 1. 👏🎉🏃‍♀️

I find the running hard but I love how happy I feel once I've completed it. Just keep focusing on why you're doing it and that should keep you focused.

Thank you! My goal was that I have desperately wanted for years to take part in a park run but was embarrassed that I couldn’t run 5k! Got to keep reminding myself of the goal and keep going.

Wishing you the best of luck and that the running gets a little easier 😀
