🤗 Aah...some runs are harder than others especially in these longer runs...

Don’t forget to start off real slow until that half way bell 🔔 so you have energy for the second half. Try changing your route & your music if negative vibes are creeping in.

Hope 8:3 is more enjoyable!

Thanks Annieapple😘. I think switching routes done a number on me !!! picked two different ones for last two runs . Both road side - hate it!! (Wish it would dry up so I can run my route above in pic It doesn’t look bad but it is). x

Some are good, some are just run. You did it, move on without over thinking. Happy running

Looks like my favourite trails too👎🏼 road is just not the same but it's good to be proficient at both. I find the key is more upbeat music for roads to keep the mood high but yes, sometimes they can feel like such a chore, especially when we know where to find the fun! 👌🏻😊

Some runs are like that. Onwards and upwards (so to speak).

Well done to you Jacca on completing run 2 of 8, some runs are not so good as others, run 3 of week 8 will be much better for you, only 4 more runs until you graduate, that is a lovely photo you have taken.

JaccaGraduate in reply toAlMorr

Thanks Almorr, the photo is from a route I find enjoyable but is too much for trainers - huge puddles and mud patches so I went with the dog and my wellies - turns out the dog doesn’t like being splashed accidentally by wellies made me chuckle though! 😁

I had a run like this earlier in the week, changing route part way through helped a bit. I repeated the run a couple of days later before moving to the next one. I find listening to live radio helps me. Good luck 😉

Ah sorry to hear that. What’s your definition of a bad run? Don’t beat yourself up, at least you ran....well done for that 👏

Jacca profile image
JaccaGraduate in reply toJerichomile

thanks Jerichomile, everyone’s bad run is different - mine started way before I’d got my running gear on!! And didn’t improve thanks to the flipping phone but never mind you can’t win em all - mood much improved by coming on here though! 😁
