Worst day EVER Wk6R2

Reached a real low point today, set off in the pouring rain for the first 10minute run, felt awful as it seemed never ending. Eventually I realised my app was on pause, heaven knows how long I had run, but much longer than 10minutes! Used my watch to time the remainder but arrived home in tears as I was annoyed I had paused the app, my legs were jelly and I was soaked to my underwear. Still I consider that run under my belt, please stop raining 💦💦💦💦💦💦

You probably ran for 30 minutes or more and covered the 5K distance, sorry about that, best thing to do now is take at least 3 days off running to recover.

Great advice, thank you 😊

Have a few rest days and go on to the next run. Hopefully just a one off with the app good luck 😊

Deffo, thank you 😊

Silver lining, at least you know you can run for longer ! The remaining runs should hold no fear for you...

Well done for braving the elements and getting out there.

You’re right, thank you 😊

Worst day ever... and yet you stand victorious, bloody well done. As above, no run should hold any fears for you now... enjoy that straight 25 next run, you probably did it today!

[Hidden in reply to UnfitNoMore]

You have all been so supportive, thank you 😊

[Granspeed Graduate]

Awww Ugh. Not Fair. But you did it! You’re a proper runner, I reckon!

Gentle exercise for a few days and you’ll be ready for the next one. The Weather Gods owe you a good one. 😄👏🏼🎉

Braver than me! I chickened out of my club’s weekly XC this evening. It’s ok if it rains when I’m out, but actually setting off in it is a step too far for me. Well done, don’t stress. We all have things go wrong, but you got through and lived to tell the tale. Have a good 2-3 days rest. By then the weather will be lovely and you’ll feel better about it all.

Good luck 🏃‍♀️😂

Well done you! Have a good rest up and then off you go again.

Brilliant! My mr announcer went quiet on Monday, out of nowhere, no idea why, but the timer still worked. Keep going, just keep going, it’s SO worth it!

[Comfortnotspeed]

Really in awe that you did that! Well done!

[Jellio1]

I’m really struggling with the rain too. It doesn’t motivate you too run, my performance has dipped too x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Well done you..now you are dry.. rest up and relax into the longer runs

[Grey-smoke]

Ask yourself if you would have done that run five weeks ago? I bet the answer is no. You fit it and conquered! Sucks that the app didn’t record but you still did it and in awful conditions. You could continue onto next run and just keep rerunning until week 9 and use as a ‘nice easy’ jog to break up that series.

I've had the app pause before and you can fast forward to where you should be then carry on to the end.

I don't like leaving the house in the rain, but, as many have said in the comments, skin is waterproof. Once you actually get out and running it won't matter if you get soaked because you'll be looking forward to a lovely hot shower at the end 🚿

We've all had them...bloody dreadful run but you carried on regardless and did extra! Well done you...the next one will be better, I promise 😉
