Due to do week 7 run 2 tonight but tired....

First time I really can’t be bothered to run- but think it’s important that I do as would help me relieve work stress,

Any tips for running when you can’t be bothered? What motivates you?

As they say "when you can't be bothered to run, run" just get out there and ignore the gremlins.

The run...and how it makes me feel... what I see, hear,smell and feel. Time to lose any stress or worries.. time to reflect on how lucky I am, that I am physically and mentally able to run...

( And the fact that if I don't run... the friends on here will be chasing me... like we will chase you...Get out there! )

That feeling you get when you complete a run always did it for me. What you waiting for get your shoes on and get out there 😊😊

Nike do a guided run called “don’t wanna run run” which is 25 minutes long... so if you fancy being coached through the run, that’s the perfect one for you!!! I’ve done it a few times, it’s amazing.

Thank you for all your comments.. I did it! I left my trainers at work so had to run in my boyfriends (not ideal) but glad I did it!

Nice job. He may need new shoes, they’re your backup pair now 🤣

That's great RunRach! Well done for getting out there.

In my mind I have an image of you running in your boyfriend's trainers. But it's based on what I would look like in my husband's - he's a size 12 and I'm a size 4 😁

[RunRach Graduate in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

Haha no we aren’t quite that bad I’m a 7 and he’s a 9 still was a bit ridiculous tho! 😂😂

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate in reply to RunRach]

Yikes, that must have been tricky for you!

Usually I run with spoken word podcasts now, but when I feel like I can't be bothered to run, I tell myself I will just go for a "quick dance in the park".

I put on my favourite tracks and my body may be running but in my head I'm dancing in a small basement disco in South Kensington in 1974 💃 😄
