Week 7 Run 1

Felt as though this is as much as I will ever be able to do and then I remind myself of how much I could do 7 weeks ago. I have absolutely no idea how fast or slow I am running (probably slow!) but I’m not going to worry about that right now- I’m too busy concentrating on sticking to the programme!! Hope everyone is ok and has had a decent Wednesday 😊

Good effort and absolutely the correct way to tackle the plan slowly and 1 day at a time, the plan works and you can do it.

Well done on completing ur run. Ur absolutely spot on, I’d guess most of us couldn’t run at the beginning and look at us now! Onwards and upwards 🏃🏻‍♀️

I started back in September and all I can say is. Stick with it. wk7 run 1 was a nightmare for me. Now 5k is a short run??? I still have the doubts creeping in now and then about the next run but I know it gets easier. You will feel the same soon. I will follow you and smile when you smash week 9 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🏃‍♀️ you can do it.

Just keep putting one foot in front of the other. You'll get there.👍

Don't bother about your pace , you are getting to the end of each run and that's the main thing. Well done you 😊

Well done. You'll enjoy the solid running I think.

Almost feels like freedom to not have to keep stopping.

Not what you're looking for?
