Awful run!

[ChettyAl]

Worst run ever tonight, I knew I shouldn’t have gone out tonight as my legs were tired- W6R2. Completed it, but taking a different route which was a bit less flat on tired legs was a bad idea. Really felt like giving up..

Some runs just don't go well. I had one last week where I couldn't run any further. You did it though so well done you! Week 6 run 2 is a stinker of a run!! Enjoy the longer run next time- no more walking! 😁😁

But you didn’t! Well done on sticking through it. Onwards and upwards ....

I'd say that's a massive win - you felt like giving up and you didn't!

You also learnt something about planning your route around how your legs feel

“Really felt like giving up...”

And yet you didn’t. You kept going. Because you have resilience. That takes guts.

Throw this run on the scrap heap of history. The next run stands by itself. Perhaps have an extra rest day?

I hope you enjoy the next one.

Thank you all so much for your words of encouragement, I love this forum! Feel a bit better now I’m looking back on it and it’s in the bag 👟

If I’m tired rather than do the next run I go back to one that I can do easily rather than not do anything at all. Might be helpful in future and well done for going anyway.

I’ve yet to have a ‘felt like giving up’ run, but posts like yours are the very reason that when I do, I’ll carry on (unless injured!)

I’ll be starting W6 on Monday, and by all accounts it’s a stinker. Your post is another to flag that! Happy you were able to carry on, so I will too!

Hope your next run is more enjoyable! 😀

Well done you for keeping going. We all have bad runs - I had my lead legs on Tuesday had to repeat !! Next one will be better 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Rachelkuuk]

Everyone has at least 1 bad run. I know I have! Well done for carrying on 👍🏼

[Dawnskeates Graduate]

You did amazingly to finish then! Well done . I had a run like that not long ago. I went out hungry and tired, it was hot and I needed the loo half way round, 😧😧😥 but finished as well. I learnt not to go out hungry or tired!! Keep going, your next run will be better x

[Sharna86 Graduate]

I had this run on Thursday and had to re do it today. Completed it today so now looking forward to the longer runs. Nightmare of a run! Well done for powering through thou!

We all have stinkers. Be proud that you did it.

I have one run left.

You can do this x

[Pancakes Graduate]

Keep going lovely! We all have bad runs - I have had more than my fair share - but I did it and if I can do it you can do it! Dont put too much pressure on yourself - it’s a learning curve - keep going - keep smiling 😃

[Vaubow Graduate]

But you didn’t give up which is the important thing. I have felt the same on a couple of runs but just kept going. You did really well and deserve to give yourself a pat on the back. Onwards and upwards!

[Tinf Graduate]

We all had those en route to graduation. Remember how far you've come... Remember how difficult the early runs were? Now look at you! We all had hiccups on the way. (I took 25 weeks to do this 9 week course!). Well done, and keep going.

Oh ChettyAl I hope you don’t give up! Even the wrong turns are part of the experience. I’ve done that too! But the thing is, you did it! Obstacles and all! It did not stop you! Keep going!! ❤️
