Disappointed

I’m so keen to get to 30 min run ..again having achieved it a couple of months ago but today ... set out on final week 9 run 1 and had to give up after 20 mins... never done that before...I know I can just call it a ‘practice’ run but I’m worried having ‘given up’ once I’ll do it again...

My excuse is... it was very windy!!

Or you went a bit fast, slow right down you can always up the speed if you’ve got anything left at the end, start so slow you feel silly but tell yourself if i go slow enough i will be able to run for long enough

Good luck

That’s great suggestion! I always find first 5 mins tricky...after that usually Okish! Will try tortoise mode!

Ah! the dreaded toxic 10 may be worth googling that as it’s a good explanation, and if you are pushing yourself through that first five minutes plus the warm up walk, then you will be shattered by the end

[Anniecycle Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

It all kind of makes sense... I suppose I have high expectations!

The wind was strong!!

3 glasses of wine previous night probably not help!!!

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Anniecycle]

And maybe tired?

Running in the wind is nasty! I’m sure you’ll be fine next time, just take it slowly as I’m sure you know already 👍😁

Thanks 🙏

It is super windy, that does make things tougher. Just keep going - a 20 minute run is an achievement anyway! The next one might be great! I'm fed up with the wind!
