This run just wasn’t going to happen. I got to the halfway mark and it felt like I should have done three quarters. I felt stiff and so tired and had to stop to walk a little way. I started to jog again but just couldn’t carry on. I’ve never had to stop before. I’m going to try again after a rest day. I wouldn’t mind but I’d had TWO rest days one of which was literally a sofa slouch day due to the weather.
Ho hum.
Noooo, no fail ! You paid km into your 5k account : ) It doesn't matter that it didn't go to plan, it just matters that you got out there and ran !
aww bad luck Archieandme, you just had a bad day, dont get disheartened, we all have them, the days when it just doesnt work for one reason or another. Take your rest day and forget about it. New day new run take care😊👍
Just a practise run then...you still ran for 14 minutes👍. Some days are like that, forget it, it's banked...
Fresh start next time, steady as you go...😊x
You can do it, shake that negativity off your mind, smile and wave, and it will be all done before you know it.
No f words allowed.. practice. blip, or dress rehearsal...Maybe you are under par.. a little bug.. or tiredness... . Have you upped your stamina and strength exercises on some of your rest days? As the runs get longer, you do need to have the rest of your body keep up with your legs..?
Hey, you went out and had a run! That’s a result. You did the wisest thing and reacted to the demand of your body and walked when needed. Wish I was as wise. Enjoy some rest days and then I’m sure your next run will feel better.
Same thing just happened to me. Glad I found your post and such supportive answers 
Good news is I’ve graduated with 4.54km in 37 mins
I’m a week to 10 days behind you, probs a good bit slower time though. Did my first parkrun last week. Run/walk in 41 mins. Still chuffed!
Heyyyyy how exciting is that??? We’re on a roll now.
Foster kids go home today so trusting a week or so off won’t affect a W9R1 later......😬
No you should be fine. Bit warm though?
Yep. Although was grey and rainy this morning! (I’m central Scotland) Really windy too so I guess tomorrow morning soon enough.
No such word as failure - treat it as an “extra” - I’ve been a graduate now for 7 months and only last week I had to grab a couple of “breathers” during my 5km run - reflected that I probably hadn’t drunk enough before the run and I wasn’t really in the mood for so the head gremlins were muttering. Next run was better ....so chin up, trainers on and go out and enjoy yourself!
