Well, I loved the run and my planned route, however, for some reason I needed to walk for a couple of minutes three quarters of the way through. I listened to my body, brisked walked then continued to run 🏃♀️
I cried on the cool down because I felt I had not done my best but now I feel positive about a rerun on Monday. This is only the second time on C25K that I have not achieved what is required. I will not continue until I have nailed each run.
Happy weekend running everybody.
😀👍🏃♀️

Don't feel too hard on yourself, you have done very well in getting to week 8, with determination you will succeed with your rerun of run 1 of week 8 this Monday. 😊 🏃
This is not a failure, it’s a progression. You ran more than the time before and less than you want to: that’s a sensible stage in learning. Very few people can just bash straight through the programme, which is why it has a repeat facility ! See if you can work out why you tired - was it hydration, lack of sleep, a steep route etc ? Then you can put that right and try again. You’re doing great, and we’re all right here behind you. Happy running !
Sounds like you gave it your best to me, give yourself a break there! That’s a really good workout and you’ll be so much stronger next time out because of it. Look at W1R1 and remember that one... so now you struggled in a 28 minute run, that’s pretty amazing when you think about it.
