Can’t quite believe it. Somehow managed to drag myself out of bed at 6:45 on a Monday morning. Was convinced I would never complete the full 25 minutes, and for the first half I was very close to stopping. Something amazing happened at 15 minutes though. I stopped thinking and just jogged, it was amazing! Very proud of myself. I’m very very slow but can’t believe I actually did it. The extra calf and leg exercises I’ve been doing definitely helped 😇😇
Survived week 6!!: Can’t quite believe it... - Couch to 5K

Well done Ellie. Don't let those gremlins into your head. They have a habit of trying to take over your head.
You can do it!
Thanks. Hopefully I’ll be more confident now that I can do it! Even at my snails pace :’)
Before my run I’m very focused. I visualise my run and I psych myself up telling myself you can do this, legs strong body strong, you’ve got this. Throughout the run I’m telling Myself the same question. Coming to the end of the run I shout push, push push. Sounds a bit crazy but it works for me

Fantastic! I love the fact that you pretty much forgot you were running!
