Don't be too disappointed on yourself Sunnybraeboats, put that run down as a practice or test run, next time you run week 8 make sure that you are well hydrated and take the 28 minutes run slow and steady.

You crossed the start line, so you didn’t fail.

Ok... you’ve run 25 before, so after 5 this one bit you on the ass... it’s not you, it’s the run. Some runs just plain suck, they hurt, they throw everything at you... next run will be smoother... happens to the best runners. So, chin up and be proud of what you’ve done. Come back after a good rest day and go again... you can do it!

You got out and tried-it wasn’t great. We’ve all experienced this and it’a real downer BUT s**t happens and next time you’re out it WILL be better. Look how far you’ve come since you started and be kind to yourself. Repeat and graduate-I need a buddy to finish with xx

That’s the spirit-no harm in repeating (or consolidating).

Enjoy the rest of the weekend and let us know how it goes next week xx
