Week 8 begun 😱

Can’t quite believe how close it’s getting to finishing the C25K programme...

My previous run was much more enjoyable - I decided to explore a different route down a different country road. I was distracted by my nosy ness which is always great, it was a tad hilly though which was a bit of a challenge.

Tonight’s run was a little tedious doing my usual route in the dark... but looking forwards to a Saturday morning run (forecast looks good, so may take myself off somewhere pretty)

Understanding the “toxic10” has made the first 5-10 mins of the runs more bearable knowing this is just something that happens and will feel better shortly - makes the little demons making you want to stop easier to ignore!

I’m pretty sure the stretching has eased the leg aching too! What a great bunch of people you all are with you fabulous advice!!!

Sorry for the willy shaped run again!! 🥴

Happy running people 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏻

Haha (phallic run) ☺️ I’m glad you feel better knowing about all these little gremlins that to get you, and you can now deal with them. Well done on this run - not long to go now 👍😁

You are so right about the advice on here.

I'm a great champion of this program, I really think its amazing. But I'm still not entirely convinced I could have completed it, without all the help on here.

Keep up the good work. Ever closer to that final run!

I’m so impressed with the program, but I can 100% confidently say that I would’ve given up weeks ago without the support and advice from this group!

Thanks Mig 🙂
