Nice to be nice.

Just finished week 5 run 2 was feeling it towards the end of the 2nd 8 minute run when an old lady told me I was doing really well as I ran past her. It really lifted me and helped me keep going to the end.

What a lovely thing to say from a stranger! That must have really made your day!

That’s so sweet! We all need a little encouragement from time to time 👍

I was quite near the beginning, week 3 I think, and was shuffling slowly up a slight incline when a “proper runner” overtook me, and said “keep going, you can do it”. I thought that was such a nice thing to do, he made my day!! Generally slow joggers in Lycra seem to be invisible to the rest of the world but all of the comments I have had have been positive and helpful. Thank you to the kindness of strangers.

I loved this on my first park run - everyone was encouraging, even when lapping me!
