So disappointed in myself tonight! That last 5 mins caught me out tonight had to walk for a minute I was exhausted 😩 but on a plus the first 5 min run I managed that on a slight incline so thinking that’s the culprit for the fail on the second one fingers crossed 🤞 x

Don’t be too hard on yourself. Stick with it and you’ll do great 😁

I’ve been there and know how it feels. About 10 mins after the run you want to kick yourself! Don’t beat yourself up.. don’t forget you’re not competing with anyone just setting your own goals. I personally felt that I wouldn’t move on from a run unless I completed in full. Did take me 2 whole weeks to complete Week 4, but felt really good about going into Week 5 once I did it.

Keep on running!!

Thanks for that I did think it may be a good idea to do this week twice and I’m trying to also push myself to run up hills so far I’ve managed to keep my runs for flats or downhills and mainly walk the inclines.

Never feel like a failure!

I’ve just done W4R1 and it almost finished me, waiting for the prompt to walk made me feel like I’d been running for 10 mins not 5 ! The urge to walk was strong! Lol

Don't let that affect your next run, keep at it!

I'm week 7 and I can tell you that I found week 4 & 5 the toughest of all.

Well tonight was a different day all together I managed the first 3 runs pretty comfortably that last 5 minute run is a serious slog but I got there 😊
