Had to stop for a minute! 😬 tough going 😔

W7R1 went early and it was cool so was very optimistic- big mistake! I ran out of energy completely and had to stop at 20 mins but then after walking for a minute I decided to run for the last 4 minutes to reach the 25 mins it nearly killed me but I done it- very hard and that’s what I have to look forward to for next 2 runs and then it gets harder! I am finding this very tough now but I’m not bloody giving up!! And on the plus side it’s wine time tonight 😊🥂 have a good day x

Well done for managing to get going again after a pause - it’s really hard.

Take the next one slightly slower. And perhaps take an emergency jelly bean or two for when you reach the empty gauge on your energy meter?

Jay's right, it is hard to get going again once you stop. We've all been there. I've had to stop a few time along the way but an extra few day to complete the app is nothing compared to the health benifits you'll get.

Keep Smiling and run on👍😁
