Feelings of anticipation

[Jaycooper71]

I’ve started and failed C25k on several occasions. Mostly down to my own self doubt of being able to achieve. I’ve now completed week 5.1 and am looking forward to seeing if tomorrow I can manage 5.2. Mostly I just think it’s in my mind as my body seems to be coping. Anyone got any tips on some positive mental attitude

Well done on getting to Wk5, Jay. You've already achieved a lot, and the more you achieve the prouder and more positive you'll feel. Maybe just concentrate on doing the next run, the the next one after that and then the next, and before you know it you'll be at W9R3. Let everyone know how you're doing!

I found deciding when my next run would be as soon as I'd finished one was a help. I also kept reminding myself of how it felt at the beginning and how far I'd come. I even wrote down a few notes about each run and it was really interesting to read those as I went along and be reminded of how much I'd achieved! You have come such a long way now. You are doing marvellously!

Well your next run will mean that you're over halfway through the programme so it'd be a real waste of all your hard work to stop now! What motivated you to start C25K? I imagine that will be your motivation for keeping on. ☺

Well that’s week 5 run 2 done. The extra 3 minutes from run 1 were a bit of a struggle in the mind but hey I did it. Happy days. Looking forward to Friday
