Lost a week

[George24]

I’ve been awful and haven’t managed my run this week. I’m on week two.

Lots of chronic pain from work stress so just haven’t managed it. I need motivation!!!

Send your kind but firm motivations this way please!!

I always say, the harder something is to achieve the better it feels in the end.

There are always obstacles but if your heart is set on something then keep going and hit those targets. Be confident and don't give up.

Just think how good you'll feel after a run and it helps with stress . 😊

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Just get out there and plan on walking for a bit and see where that takes you

Motivation? we’ve just finished week 9 and blood pressure down cholesterol down weight down a bit stronger shapelier legs arms and waist and we didn’t even diet

Would you rather sit at home angry at yourself all night for not going running? That’s what I’d do. So I just go. Then I feel fab. It’s great for mental health 👍🏽

A gentle run is great for relieving work stress, so don’t give up. Always remember the First Rule of C25k: The only run you fail is the run you don’t go for ! Have fun out there x

Can sympathise. Haven’t managed the parkrun this morning due to back pain. However, we mustn’t let it become a pattern. Get out there again next week. Good luck.

[George24]

Thanks everyone. Have yoga class this morning so hoping it helps me get back on track!

[Myankles]

Keep going. The actually running i find really hard. But after the feeling is wonderful such a sense of achievement and accomplishment .... just keep thinking if others can do it so can You!!!!!!

[Dalmorangie Graduate]

Just keep at it and if it suits you just repeat a week if you miss it! Also I see you’re in Edinburgh, lucky you, so take advantage of all that incredible scenery or even drive out to the coast for a change of running scene. I’m now convinced that 🏃‍♂️ is more about mind than matter so recalibrate that and everything else will kick in 👍

[George24]

Well I did it, after yoga just got back from week 2 run 1 and I think my lungs are collapsed 😰😰😰 but glad I went!!

[SmashedPotato Graduate]

Fantastic George24 you did it! SPx

[Comfortnotspeed]

Come on! You can do this- if you stay on the sofa it’s the cricket 🏏 arrrggghh... get out there!
