So finished week 4, onto week 5 eek!

[Sanguineus]

The last 2 minutes run were really hard, a few times I was an inch from hitting the stop button on the treadmill, but somehow managed to drag myself through. I am beginning to feel it now though, sleeping a little longer (where the kids allow), and eating better and I think I'm seeing a slimmer waistline although I'm pretty sure that's wishful thinking.

I've taken a sneak peek at the week 5 runs and wishing I hadn't on paper and at first glance run 2 and 3 look horrendous. I know its just a case of what I perceive myself being able to do not being up to the demands of the runs. Its just so easy being self-negative, I can't do this, I look silly etc.

That aside its the one of the few times being a stubborn so and so comes In handy I'm halfway through, hate quitting and I'm gonna do this (hopefully)!!

for anyone that's conquered Week 5 any tips or suggestions?

You said it yourself. We tell ourselves that it's too difficult, that we can't do it. But you can!

It's a battle, that's for sure, but we can't let our minds win. Trust yourself, your legs and body are ready for week 5. Just get on that treadmill and do it, slow and steady all the way 😀

Week 5 is just another week of workouts and they are all shorter than the week you have just finished.

This might put it into perspective healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Relax, you can do this.

IannodaTruffe I've read that post several times, still read it in a weekly basis. On a completely logical basis I completely understand and agree, it's getting past the demon that can only seem to say "8 minute run AAAGGGHHHHHH!!"

I'm gonna get there, that's for sure. There just might be a whole lotta whining and whingeing along the way!!

Good luck! I’m a couple of runs behind you. Will be watching your progress. You can do it!
