The runs now are a bit of a mind game so you've got to trick your head and ignore it! Try running slower and don't think about the possible stopping. Think about anything else instead.

Remember you're more than able to do this run as you've done the programme up to now and it has prepared you for it. If you think you're going to stop then say to yourself you're going to do ten more steps, then when you get there, do ten more. Don't let your head take over, you can do this 💪💪

Hey it happens, our mind will convince us to quit long before our body... A trick I was told was that when you get to that point that you want/ need to stop, look ahead and pick a feature in the distance ( lamp post or tree etc ) and tell yourself that you can stop when you get there. Then repeat this as the first post wasn't the one that you'd planned to stop at.

Anyway , you're at week 8.... thats awesome , so well done, the end is in sight!

The willpower is stronger some days than others. I guess that’s like another a muscle we are learning to flex 💪🏻

Well done for getting back out there 🙂

No chance of me giving up dont quit at anything whatever I'm doing I will keep going until I get there . It's going to take more than the 9 weeks for me to finish but I'm not bothered as long as I keep persisting I will get there 😊😊

Showing dogged determination right there. It’s a useful mindset, particularly on cold, wet and achy days...

Thats awesome Buddy, well done.

It doesn’t matter how long it takes, just keep going and you’ll get there, I’m much the same.... I’m determined to finish this👍
