W6R3 A Runner?

Hi everybody,

This was tough, but felt better once past the half way mark - I think that’s how I deal with the mental side of things, get to half way and its all ‘downhill’ from there. Laura suggested upping the pace for the last minute if feeling ok, and tried, but boy did my legs know about it afterwards.

She also says that you’re officially a RUNNER at the end 👍😁

Have a good day folks!

I also feel better after half-way mark. I just tell myself that now I am closer to the finish then to my start point and it gets mentally easier.

Congratulations Wenderwoo The Runner 😀

Woohoo, you're a runner, you're a runner, you're a runner! 🏃‍♀️ Congratulations! 👍😊 And I am so with you regarding the 'downhill feeling' after the half way mark. The same goes for the whole C25k plan. Having completed W5 I feel I'm on the downhill part there too. And you already did two thirds of the plan, isn't that amazing?! 😊

Hey fellow runner that’s great news, we couldn’t up the speed at all until after we graduated. It feels a long time running but it’s an amazing thing to do and time goes quicker the more often you run at that time. Remember the first 90 second run? that felt forever after getting used to 60 seconds

Have a great weekend

Congratulations on officially becoming a runner 😁 The hardest part for me is the warm up walk but as soon as I start running the big grin kicks in and I’m off!

Thanks! I struggle with the so called ‘toxic ten’, but feel pretty good after that, even though I’m a snail at the mo 😊

It takes some getting used to, but yes, it's no more training wheels for you! You are a runner doing proper blocks of running! Well done. 🎉

Well done, that I’m a runner feeling is so good. The half way bell disappears from memory towards the last few weeks which I never understood why🤔
