Running = Energy!

[Reachtarget2020]

I have done my 2nd run of week one of the couch to 5k and as hard as it felt, after doing it I find myself having more energy, instead of wanting to sit iv kept looking to tick things off of my to-do list!

I'm looking forward to my run on Sunday as il be doing it solo, my first two runs iv been pushing my baby in the pushchair & with my 8 year old alongside me. So it will be nice to reflect whilst running 😃🏃‍♀️

One of the reasons I started c25k was for the headspace. You're going to love it.

Good luck 👍

Thank you, I do struggle with Anxiety - so when I complete a run my mind seems to feel clearer & less burdened, I think il be able to really appreciate my next run 😊🏃‍♀️

I love the mindful part of it. Being able to run and be out doing something and achieving. Well done.

[Reachtarget2020 in reply to Hidden]

Mindfulness is great, I'm trying to have a positive mindset each day & properly commiting to the couchto5k is definitely helping! 😃 how are you finding it?

[Hidden in reply to Reachtarget2020]

Really good thank you. I'll begin Week 9 on Monday. It really works, especially if you take on board all the wonderful advice from this forum.

I’m the same as you. Also completed run 2 of week 1 and have lots more energy. Enjoy your solo run. Like you say time to reflect.

[Reachtarget2020 in reply to Barbiegrlll]

I'm glad someone else of feeling the benefits of more energy, its very rare I get time to reflect so I'm really looking forward to it? How about you? Are you enjoying the running?

[Barbiegrlll in reply to Reachtarget2020]

I’m enjoying running with my dog, and have the added benefit of being out in the fresh air. Good luck with the rest of the programme!

Well done, it really does make a difference to your general well being. I have much more energy, have started to be more conscious about what I eat and drink and generally feel a lot less sluggish. I also love the solitude of running when I clear my mind of everything on the to do list. Happy running 😊
