Third time lucky, hopefully. Got to Week 6 in October, Week 3 in January, but got very down, massive anxiety and stopped. I NEED to do this though, not just for my physical health but for my mental health and self-esteem. Buttercup kid is my hero - she did it, and never gave up and I can too! W1R2 tomorrow.....
Starting again (again): Third time lucky... - Couch to 5K
Starting again (again)
You will do it Pickles1234, I agree with you regarding BCK. I have named the route on which I ran most of C25K on near my home "The ButtercupKid 5K trail"
Good luck! You can do it! You’ve proved that. Everyone here will be rooting for you!!
Just keep going keep running and come here and let us know how you get on this is a great plan and an even better bunch of people good luck 😊
Wishing you all the best as you start out again. Well done for giving it another go 😊
Sounds like you're determined to get this done somehow. I hear your call with the anxiety and depression. It has helped me massively with mine by doing this, I'm better able to cope without medication. I also do yoga with meditation focusing on the breath. This has helped to teach me how to control my breathing in stressful situations, it could be something for you to research? There are guided meditations online that can be done at home. Good luck with your next run Pickles1234 xx
Well done on getting started again, you are stronger than you think, this shows you have fantastic perseverance 💪don’t let your thoughts tell you anything else.
