Week 4 failed run 2

[Minimoo14]

I started week 4 on Monday and found it really hard

I went yesterday to do run two and only managed halfway gutted😢

Ahhh a practice run Minimoo. No “f” words here!! Try slowing your pace down (it’s something l struggle with) somewhere between a 🐌& a🐢. Honest, it’s a smart way to run. Not all runs are equal & we all have off days for various reasons. You’ve come such a long way since your first run, remember that? Focus on what you have achieved, & that’s a lot in a very short time. Wishing you well for your next run. You’ve got this👍🏻

No, no, Minimoo14, don't feel gutted about your run, we all have our bad runs, perhaps you were going a bit too fast or began your run not long after you ate something. NEVER use the fail word here on C25K, just a practice run, have a day off and run week 4 run 2 again slightly slower and at least a hour after a little food

If it was hard... and you struggled... just slow down, and then slow down more... this is a great running journey.. why rush it ?

Relax... breathe gently..kiss the ground with your feet and enjoy the runs.

You have come a long way and are doing well... so this was just one of those runs.

Stretch well.. start to up your rest day stamina and strength exercises too... your body has to keep up with your legs

Old floss is a wise sage of a woman. Listen to all she has to say and you will achieve this. It is not a race or compulsory to complete it within 9 weeks. We are all here to encourage you on.
