Week 7, Run 1 = Done it! :)

[SuperMouse]

Pleased to report that I managed Week 7, Run 1.

Was starting to question what on earth I was doing but then Laura said I had 5 mins left so I knew if I didn't finish I would be so disappointed with myself and so I managed it.

Phew!

Well done!

Same run today for me too...I was running into the wind for the last 10 min of my run, felt like I was running on the spot lol

Good luck with the next run.

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to Heathermgal]

Thanks. I found it hard but got there in the end. Most of it is mental barriers I think and stopping listening to myself saying I should stop.

Good luck for your next run too!

Ah, that’s where breaking it down into 5 minute chunks has worked for me. 5 x 5 minute runs, before you know it you’re on the last 5 minutes. Still hard though!!! Well done you 🏃‍♀️😀😀🏃‍♀️

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to TailChaser]

Thanks.

Yeah when Laura says it is half way I can sort of work out how many songs I have left to the end which gives me a 'rough' idea. Good luck for your next run!

[TailChaser Graduate in reply to SuperMouse]

I do love it when that bell rings 😊 thanks SuperMouse and to you.

I did this today worked a treat X

[Heathermgal Graduate in reply to SuperMouse]

Yes indeed...a whole conversation going on in my head while running (well jogging) 😄

Well done though and just think how far we have all come from week 1! Keep going 👍

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to Heathermgal]

Thanks, you too!

[Jb33 Graduate]

Well done! Keep it going not long until you graduate.

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to Jb33]

Thank you! I can't believe I've got this far. It's still a a struggle but I am determined!

[Jb33 Graduate in reply to SuperMouse]

The 28 minutes isnt any harder you’ll be glad to hear or easier in my case but I manage to do it. Once I hear from Jo that I’m halfway I know I can finish it. Good luck with your next run.🙂

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to Jb33]

Thanks. You too!

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to Cwtch2018]

Thanks. It certainly is. I feel on a bit of a high now!

[I_can_run Graduate]

Well done! On the home straight now, no big jumps just a matter of repeating the long runs.

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to I_can_run]

Thank you!

[awaw Graduate]

Well done! Feels great doesn’t it! I also work out time left by how many songs today I kept repeating a song that I enjoyed and seemed to work for my pace and it felt like less time 😂 it’s definitely a mental battle too!

[SuperMouse Graduate in reply to awaw]

Thank you! I do feel like a fraud, I can't quite believe I have actually got this far.

All the best for your next run!
