W8R1... Light at the end of the tunnel😊

[Nanarunrun]

I did W8R1 this morning... Week 8... Good lord!!! 28 minutes run and I could've done more which is amazing!

I'm still struggling a bit in the middle (8 to 18 minutes) but slowed right down and chat to myself - 'it won't last for long...' 'you can do this'.... 'look at those curtains'.... 'I wish I hadn' t worn these pants, which ones are they? '... Anything to distract myself until I'm comfortable again... If you're just starting out and struggling, keep going, I couldn't do a whole minute in the first run, I don't know how it works but it really does!

Oh My God.this is awesome. I think all of us have the same inhibitions when we start running

.I think i needed to read this today. Today was week 6, day 2 for me and initially my mind was complaining so much you cannot do 10 min running without stopping...but honestly, once i put one foot in front of the other, it was done before i even realized it...at the second 10 min, i wanted another 10 min...isn't that so weird? the first few min when i start running are the hardest

You have discovered he secret of distraction......well done.

All runners have to do it..........think about anything but the physical effort of running.

You know having you and the other runners to motivate us is soooo good

Just to realise that we all are doing this together makes it funner( i know i know funner isnt a word but its in my dictionary)

I am excited for my week 6 day 3 tomorrow

I never thought i would look fwd to them

Tks sool much for your support fols
