Well this morning I got up & put my “I can do this hat on”

I listened to all your Advice about taking it slow and easy , focus which I did, keep at a pace.

I’m chuffed to say I have completed week 5. So a huge thanks to everyone for all the advice,support and encouragement cause you guys have helped me to achieve this 20min run.😘

Well done! It's a huge milestone, isn't it! One of those things that seems impossible before you start C25K. You're well on the way now xxxx

Couldn’t have done it without all the positive vibes from you Wonderful guys.

The feeling of I can really do this is amazing.

Bring on the rest of the weeks as am even more focused from where I was before.

It’s all good.

I am doing this run tomorrow and already mentally trying to motivate myself - definitely mind over matter!

Hi

Before my run I just kept thinking I can do this. Laura who I’m listening to broke it down into 5 minute chunks.

I focused on my music and set a pace that I could maintain.

I was desperate to run fast but didn’t as I knew I would not be able to maintain my pace and possibly not complete the run.

So my advice is set a steady pace. Go slow and easy. At the end if you feel you could run more quicken your pace but not at the expense of not achieving your run.

Best of luck

Thanks I will bear that in mind - the temptation is to race off but I need to reign myself in . Looking forward to it in a weird way!
