Is it just me....

Is it just me or do you chat to your C25K trainer? I like to think me and Sarah have built up a rapport. She tells me I’m doing great and I say “thank you Sarah, that’s lovely of you to say so”. She asks me if I’m ready for my next run, I mutter “No, Sarah, can’t you see I’m exhausted?!” But I do it anyway. Not going to lie though, Looking forward to next week though when she doesn’t keep reminding me to imagine I’m behind a hedge!

I used to say “Come on Jo, that 5 minutes must be up by now”. Jo Whiley was my best friend though , and it was hard to say goodbye after graduation. I took her on my first parkrun as well.

I do too - usually when Laura (or Michael it earlier runs) asks how I’m doing or suggests I might like to increase my speed a bit - it’s amazing how much I can say! ‘You have to be kidding ‘ is the polite version! But in the main I’m glad Laura is with me, even if her minutes are longer than mine!

I got a bit snippy with Laura once. I only used the w9 podcasts for consolidation and she kept telling me that I might want to slow down. I really didn't. Lol

Michael and I have had much laughter, especially when he says you might want to slow down. Don’t think I could go any slower, but he is loyal and been my running buddy for 9 weeks.

On one or some of the weeks for the last minute the trainer would say ' you can speed up if you want ' . I would be saying are you bloody serious 😂😂
