After getting all hot and bothered by the nice-looking-bloke I bumped into during my last run, today was a a bit like an anti-climax.......😅😅😅
I ran for 25 mins straight. Really felt like giving up during the Toxic 10 and had not much left in the tank when I finished.
I should be feeling great but I just feel utterly drained .......both mentally and physically. Wondering if I'm really cut out for this......
Hopefully this is a passing phase......!!!

Don’t worry too much hotheels I did run 1 and 2 week 7 ok slow but did them run 3 however I could not complete was really down on myself so did it again Wednesday and completed it ok bit slow but I did it now on to week 8 Monday
Did you get that guys number? Maybe he could pace you?
Gave it your all on that run... that’s good, that’s strong mind and body, well done!
So, you started just 7 weeks ago, and you’re running 25 minutes? And you don’t think you have this?
You so got this! Keep pushing, you’ll be at 30 soon.
Ah, thank you!!! You're absolutely spot on in that I have come a long way from when I started 7 weeks ago.......🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️
I'll just put this crappy feeling behind me and look forward to finishing week 7 on a positive note!!😊
You’ll have to go back to the route you ran last time 😁
Sounds like you are doing great . Keep the faith and you’ll smash it 🤛
Hehehe!!! Poor bloke doesn't know he's become famous on C25k.....lol!!!😉
I echo the sentiment above. In 7 weeks (or however long it’s taken) you’ve gone from couch, to being downhearted because you were drained after running for 25 MINS straight.
That’s an incredible achievement and one I remind myself of as I come to week 8 myself.
Well done 👏🏻👏🏻. If you’re unhappy, repeat the week until you’re happier?
Don't think unhappy is the right word.....I just felt "flat".....like I've lost my steam. Could be the extreme heat too, I suppose.
But you're right, I've come such a long way in 7 weeks....and that's what I'm going to focus on as I complete week 7.
Thank you for the firm push in the right direction xx😁
Hey Hotheels well done! Some runs are a bit flat like that! But you have slayed the gremlins by getting out there. It’s been a very hot day too! You’re doing brilliantly. Have a lovely rest day and you’ll be back on the run bouncing as usual!! You’re not only just the right cut for this, you’re doing it and doing it so well!! ❤️
Yeah.....I'm thinking that the heat did play a major part in how I felt before, during and after my run today.
But.....looking ahead......chin up...onwards and upwards to finish week 7 on a positive note!!!! 😊
Thank you for reminding me that it's ok to have a "not so great" run xx
Spooky 😱 This is the same week I lost my mojo too and the gremlins got me!! ~ i hope I can help to give you the same kind of shove I was given on here ~ keep at it Hotheels , stick with the programme and all will be well 😊 You've got this 🙌👊🙌
"Lost my mojo" sums it up perfectly!!! I'm jusy going to put it behind me and focus on the next run...hopefully in a cooler setting and a much better frame of mind xx Thank you for the encouragement!!!💪💪💪
You beat those gremlins, well done! We all have those draining, rather crappy runs. Don’t worry, they aren’t a sign of anything other than that you’re human. You have definitely got this, I bet your next run is great. And a hot bloke is an excellent reason to scope out the same route again 
Lol!! Hot bloke has no idea how he is becoming famous out here.....!!!😂😂😂
Yes.....feeling "human" today for sure......going to take it easy and hopefully feel like "superwoman" in time for my next run!!!😉
Thank you for your support xx
Superwoman always gets the hot bloke so I‘m thinking your plan is excellent, haha! Good luck on the next run and maybe before you go out paint your phone number on the back of your top 😄
HaHa. When I used see people coming the other way I would straiten up and smile as I ran past with my best running posture... till I was around the corner ,,, then it was a stop, double up and catch my breath!! Not so bad these days. 
You ran for 25 minutes straight. You felt like giving up, but you didn't. Sounds pretty superhuman to me 😃
If someone else was feeling this way, I'm sure you would be reaching out to them with encouragement and support. Please be as kind to yourself.
You ran for 25 whole minutes. That is immense. Imagine being able to do that 7 weeks ago ...... you’d have laughed at the idea - I know I would have! But you stuck with with it. You slayed those irritating little so-and-so’s and carried on. How good is that?
You’ll woop R3 upside the head (slow or faster, no one cares, nor does it matter) and you’ll move on to W8 strong. Then it’s W9, then it’s badge time. Look how close you are!
You’ve got this!!! 💪🏻🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️💪🏻 😀
Ah Cheeky.....you get it, don't you? I would've laughed myself silly if anyone suggested that 7 weeks ago.
I signed up to C25k in April but only found the courage to start much later towards the end of June.
So.....thank you for reminding me that one crappy run does not negate how far I have come xxx😘😘😘
Take each run as it comes (you can't expect to meet 'hot' guys every time you venture out), simply enjoying the pleasure of routinely placing one foot in front of the other, as you sensibly and sustainably find your running legs.
Due to the unseasonably warm summer heat, ensure that you sufficiently hydrate throughout the day (or day before, if you run early on a morning), running at a pace that feels comfortable.
Don't worry about speed, since that'll come once those running legs are eventually found; right now, simply focus upon increasing distance, in addition to ensuring that those feet remain 'hot in their heels'.
Tip: Coconut oil goes a long way towards ensuring that running feet remain presentable.
Thank you.....I will remember the coconut oil tip😊
I think you are correct.....I need to up my water drinking (I'm not very good at it).....so have taken to carrying a bottle wherever i go to keep sipping water throughout the day.💧💧💧
Continually treating those runner's feet (to regular application of coconut oil) simply keeps them looking and feeling sweet.
With regard to fluid intake, as a general rule, aim for 2-3 litres each day, since a 2% reduction in overall hydration can have 10-15% impact upon overall performance.
Not every run will feel great, but every run you complete is another great achievement, as the saying goes no pain, no gain! You have done 20 of the 27 runs, the graduation line is tantalisingly just round the corner, it's a sign of how far you have come that you can feel a bit flat after running continuously for 25 minutes, so recover well today, keep hydrated and nail W7R3! xx
Agree. Think I was more knackered than I realised yesterday....weather didn't help!!!
Feeling fresh after a good night's sleep, going to remember to hydrate well tonight and tackle W7R3 head on.....💪💪💪
Thank you for the Pearls of Wisdom!!!!😁
