Week 6 run 3 done and dusted!

After it took me a few tries to get through week 5 last week, I've just done week 6 run 3 on my way home from work!

Anyone who read my earlier post on week 5 will know I've struggled to get past week 4 because of my endometriosis - now that I've started making real progress with the programme, I've noticed that this month my symptoms were so much better and I've had more energy generally - the only thing I can think to put it down to is running! It's inspired me to finally get my sugar addiction under control, because if running can make this much difference I can only imagine what healthy eating and running together will do!

I'm so glad I discovered this forum when I did, it's been very helpful and motivating.

Congratulations annatonina on completing week 6 and especially coming back from work, you are now officially a runner, onwards and upwards to week 7.

Great, and also if you think it's helping your endometriosis that's brilliant. As for your sugar addiction😂 you can massively cut down I used to love chocolate the bigger the bar the better then I put a stop to it so good luck😊

I've given up sugar completely a few times before (right down to checking the labels for everything to make sure it was less than 3% sugar) and always found it easy once I'd been doing it for a couple of weeks but this time I've been struggling to get past a week! Hopefully with the new realisation of how good it will feel I'll be able to motivate myself.

I've actually enjoyed this whole week, having been someone who hated running before! Good luck!
