Week 8...done but mentally struggled

3 Replies

Completed week 8 this morning, found this week a real mental struggle, had to force myself to go to the gym. Once I got going I was ok, and pleased to finish. 🥵

Well done.

It sounds like it is getting to the gym that is the problem rather than the running.

Well done with week 8.

Could try running in the park or on the street instead of the gym.?!? Just a thought.
