Failed W8R3!

This is the first time I had to stop running and frustrating given how close to finishing I am - been having stomach issues all day and my phone restarted after 10 minutes so I had to slow down to find my podcast again. Sadly couldn't find the strength of mind to start all over again. How do I make sure I get back on the bike so to speak and finish off the program?

No such thing as a failed run, only the one you don't even try. I have learnt that on here and it is absolutely true. Any run, even if it does not go to plan is building your stamina and you can learn something from it. It is all good, no need to feel you've failed.

OMG! I’ve just posted about my failed W8R3!!! It was a shock as I’ve never had to stop before. I’m treating it as a fluke and will try again after a rest day. I’m sure you’ll be fine when you try again

No worries Mikey. The bad ones happen from time to time. Give yourself a day or two and give it another shot. You’ll do it!
