advice please

I plan to do the 3rd run of week 6 tonight but 3 things are making me stall.

1. It’s still quite warm

2. My running partner is on holiday

3. Run 2 was tough going

Should I postpone till in a more positive frame of mind or just get out there and do it??

Too warm...?

Are you nervous about solo running?

Is there a problem with running more slowly?

Will you feel better after the run?

If you have answered ..no..to all these questions..except the last one...then pick up the shoes and head out..😊

I'll come with you..whispering..slow and steady..😊

You will be fine😉

Thank you.

I’d go with what you feel most comfortable with, but if you did go out there when everything is not so perfectly lined up, it would be an amazing achievement and you will have removed the mystery and discomfort of sometimes going it alone. ❤️

Very true. Think it’s the fear of failure I’m worried about. Found the last run very hard but got through it with my friend. Just worried I’ll give up and then struggle to pick it up again

Why not think of it as a practice run! No pressure required and see how you go! Every run gives you something more and that can only be a good thing. So if you go ahead, but go amazingly slow, you might just amaze yourself too! 😉❤️

Well done to get this far, keep going you can do it! I found week 6 a struggle but pushed myself and yesterday I completed week 7 run 3 but ran a little slower than previous weeks. Keep going you will be so proud of yourself.
