Tough one again 😢

So I have just completed my 2nd post grad run and it was hard again! So hard in fact that at 25 mins I had to walk for 30 seconds to recover from a horrid stitch. I picked myself back up and continued with my run but couldn’t help feeling disappointed. That’s the 1st time in this programme that I had to walk when I should have been running 😢 That being said, I did the 5k within 35 minutes so not dreadful. Really looking forward to having a decent run again! Hope it’s soon...

It might have been hard but you still did it! Well done! And in my opinion very fast 😃

Some runs just seem to be more of a struggle than others, and I think following the programme feels different (purposeful) to heading out alone where you can do what you like. Be proud of the fact you got out there and ran, and accept that walking for 30 seconds of it is not a failure x

Blimey, you must be running fast - no wonder you got a stitch! I was feeling quite pleased with myself for doing 5k this morning, but it took me 42mins! I think you’re being hard on yourself!

Thank you all! Maybe I am being a bit tough on myself! I need to remember, 10 weeks ago I could barely manage a minute! 😂👍
