Didn’t Wanna Run run

[molly1973]

Thanks to Coach Bennet on Nike Run Club and this image I pinched from a Facebook group, I ran today. Feeling negative about myself at the moment, I made excuses yesterday and was heading in the same direction today but I’m just back from 25mins that nearly didn’t happen. Feeling better 👍

Well done for not listening to those gremlins

[Elisabeth3 Graduate]

Well done.

Unfortunately, I could not make out the image. Only the large print.

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to Elisabeth3]

Sorry, it’s because it’s a screenshot. It’s just a good reminder that every little bit helps, and going out when you didn’t fancy it is probably the best result!

[Elisabeth3 Graduate in reply to molly1973]

Thanks. Surely, every bit (and beat) helps. I didn't very much fancy going out today but I am glad I did.

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to Elisabeth3]

Great! Go us!

Well done! You got it up and you did it. I'm way off a 25min run at the moment. Keep doing it as not only are you helping you but you're also helping me with, inspiration.

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to philevans68]

Aww that’s such a kind thing to say: thank you. You’ll be the inspiration to others before you know it: in fact, you probably already are 👍

[NewRunner4 Graduate]

Fantastic - got to be the hardest to make yourself go for it when it’s the last thing you feel like. But how amazing did you feel afterwards..?! 👏👏👏

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to NewRunner4]

Good thanks! Going again today 👍

[Couchpotato2 Graduate]

Hope you were able to shout out all the negatives like he tells you too! Well done on doing it

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

It was in my head but he covered every one of them!

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to molly1973]

It’s good to know it’s not just you isn’t it!

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to Couchpotato2]

Absolutely

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Did you run the “don’t wanna run run?” I love that one!

Well done on that 25 and you ended it feeling better and being stronger for the next, that’s what it’s all about. Happy running.

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Yes, I did! It’s the first one I’ve managed and I enjoyed it. Can’t play music alongside the app but that was ok for that run. I might be a NRC convert!

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to molly1973]

I use the guided runs a lot. It can control Apple Music or Spotify, but if you use something else you can use the other/no music option and start the music just before launching NRC

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Ok thanks for the tip. I tend to use the BBC Sounds app more then anything. I do use Spotify but not often.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to molly1973]

I’m either guided or run with a watch and listen to a podcast... really don’t get on with Sounds though, whoever designed it needs firing, it could have been so great.

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

I ran today with Eliud... it was fabulous! I ditched music (radio) as it didn’t really turn the volume down enough when they were talking. Strangely felt ok having periods of silence as they had me thinking about things. I like music but am learning to run without too

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to molly1973]

Nice one. Running with the legend too!

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

It was fab 😊 He even told me to slow down 😂😂

[Couchpotato2 Graduate in reply to molly1973]

And he has such a sing songs voice. He got me to my first long long run, with a sort of smile

[Wimborne]

Nice one for getting that run done. And so good you feel better for it. 😀

Looking at the clock image, I see that DNA alteration is claimed for exercise. I would be fascinated to learn what evidence there is for this. For years Soviet scientists tried unsuccessfully to show this to confirm the preponderance of environment over heredity. Any information?

[molly1973 Graduate in reply to HeavyFoot]

Not from me! I just pinched a graphic that helped motivate me 😉
