Week 4 run 1 done

[Languid_Lil]

Hi there my lovely supportive C25K friends! I'm sitting here at the kitchen table resting after completing Run 1 of Week 4!!! I ran for 5 minutes without stopping. TWICE!! The truth is I didn't even want to stop - I didn't hear that insidious voice in my head telling me I couldn't do this, I needed to stop, I was going to be sick... that awful negative litany I've been hearing for the last 50+ years whenever I tried to run. Instead I had my own voice telling me that it was going great; I can do this (and the lovely Sarah Millican chipping in now and then.)

OK so I'm pretty bushed now, but I did it 😉

Like the sound of that voice so much more than the old one.

Good job, enjoy your rest and smash the next one.

Brilliant. You’re doing this for you and it feels good! Well done! 👍

[Equi-geek Graduate]

👏👏👏 great feeling isn’t it?! Took me completely by surprise - even though I’d done some sponsored runs during my 50 years with no training they were one-offs and utterly horrid. Can’t believe I actually enjoy running now. Have fun with the rest of the programme now you’ve found the ‘comfy’ pace 🤗👋

The amazing power of the brain: you managed to 'outstare' the negative voice in you!!! Wow! Well done. I think that is an even bigger accomplishment the managing the run! You should be proud!
