Week 7

[Kittycattie]

Not a s enjoyable as previous weeks but getting thorough it - one more run to go then onwards to week 8. Still slow but able to jog for 25 continuous minutes!

You couldn’t do that in week 1 could you? look how far you have come

Good for you! 😄

I hated W7 the first time I did C25K, my legs were fine, but my brain was outraged having to keep going continuously! I remember the desperate conversation to avoid giving up..

I want to stop!

Shut up! Look at that flower!

I want to stop!

Shut up! Look at that car!

I want to stop!

Well just run for this music track ... and the next one ... etc 😂

I found changing route really helped me and only thinking about a little part of it at a time. I also used music and radio 4 podcasts to distract me.

It was much better by W8 - and better still when I had the sense to slow down a bit and make myself more comfortable. 😄

Well done. Fingers crossed, you'll enjoy week 8.

Nearly there... Christmas graduation for you!

Well done! I was just the same, have completed c25k and found w8 and 9 hard. Still working at jog/ running for 30 mins and then building up to longer runs to hit the 5k. I know I’ll get there, it’s mind over matter. Keep going and focus on how well you’ve done. As a non runner I thought I was going to have a heart attack in w2 so 30mins is smashing it to me. Good luck!
