Another run under the belt Does it ever get any easier ?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

It does get a bit easier Dave as you get through the program, as long as you don't rush anything and just take the runs slowly you should find it gets slightly easier.

Cheers. I did go a bit faster over the front of the run and then dialed it back a bit to get to the 25 minute mark. Might be better starting slower and finishing strong.

See if that works better for you. Sometimes I find that it works best for me to slow down intermittently, as and when it starts feeling like “this is too much”

[Irish-John Graduate]

Dunno about "easier" 'cos the competitive side is strong -running achievements I thought would be utterly impossible for me two years ago can seem "tame" now if I lose my sense of perspective

Had to literally laugh at my own pampered nonchalance a while back when I caught myself saying I was "just going out for a quick 5k run to get the running day sorted"lol. This from someone who was literally blue in the face on W1,D1, only two years ago

I used to think if I could make the 3/10ths of a mile marker at the local park I would be exultant, now I'm fretting I might have to walk a bit in an upcoming Ten Mile event...

So - does it get easier? Possibly not - but it sure as heck gets better

Wishing you many happy miles in your future ☺

Feels as hard but you go further and longer 👌🏽 looking back, I would find c25k easy if I did it now. It’s a long process though this running!

[DaveMu Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Cheers . 5K seems do-able. Much further than that I'm not so sure.

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to DaveMu]

He he he. I said that. Now onto HM training 😂

[DaveMu Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Well done . Next step for me is a 10K I suppose. Great Scottish Run in a year's time.
