W7R3

Week 7 complete. That was quite a tough week, if felt a bit relentless. Tonight is the least motivated I've felt to go for a run. But I did it and actually it was the best run of the week! Found it surprisingly easy considering I felt like I had no energy before going. The app is obviously doing what it's supposed to. Roll on week 8!

Well done ,I finished the same run earlier as well

[Sarah2706 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Well done. I'm choosing either early morning or early evening at the minute as it's been so warm. Don't know why I've had such little energy this week.

[Hidden in reply to Sarah2706]

Yes I was out at 830 this morning ,not going out in the heat to run .the coming week seems to cooling down so all good for week 8

Well done on your run Sarah. It is surprising how a run that we think we are not up for when we set out, turns out to be one of the best runs. You're nearly there!

[Nilsam Graduate]

Fantastic news, Sarah2706. That means you will always know if you are feeling down and don't want to run...it will change the way you feel. Well done. 😎👍

[Sarah2706 Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Yes you're absolutely right, its definitely good to keep in mind

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Sarah2706]

Well done Sarah trust the app just like you've done so far it'll take you all the way to your badge 👍🙂

[MartinKH Graduate]

Great that you got through this run, even though you weren’t that motivated initially.

Well done, and keep up the great work 👍

[Speedy60 Graduate]

Well done. The trick now is to remember that experience the next time you don't feel like going out. 👍

[Sarah2706 Graduate in reply to Speedy60]

Yes definitely a good lesson 😊

[BeachbodyUnready Graduate]

Well done! I went out feeling motivated for this run but actually found it harder going than runs 1&2! Strangely though, did W8 R1 yesterday and could have kept going at the end! I think we just have good days and bad days and have to trust that overall the plan works 😄

[Sarah2706 Graduate in reply to BeachbodyUnready]

I agree. I have noticed if I take the dogs for a good walk first then go straight for a run it's much easier, I guess it loosens you up and get your blood pumping.

[Fluffiness Graduate]

Well done, mind over matter!! I think that feeling exhausted and lethargic is a sign of the times for a lot of us right now - psychological response to the situation, but good to get out and overcome it with physical activity!

Hi, Congratulations for not giving into your thoughts.

I found W7 a challenge too therefore, I decided W8 would be my challenge R1 I decided - R2 i will get at close to 5k as I could , (I’m 69). It was a great challenge for myself jogging at my own pace.

Then on R3 , I clocked 3 miles ( just short of 5K). Tomorrow W9.... I have already set my intentions- to jog/run 1,2 3 - 5k , all three , no matter what my time is. So , you will love W8 and W9 . You could set you own challenge and pace too. Hope to hear of your success

[Sarah2706 Graduate in reply to Bracken2018]

Wow that's fantastic, well done you! I will definitely follow your lesson that 😊

[Gmhmd1 Graduate]

I’ve just done wk7 2nd run and found it hard but really enjoying exploring my local area.

[Hidden]

I wonder how your week 8 is going? Another week down so well done. You are so near the end!

You are prepared and you have miles in the legs now. Good luck!

[Sarah2706 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I'm on run 3 of week 8 later today, looks like I won't avoid the rain so I've resigned myself to just getting soaked. On the upside I shouldn't bump into too many people. Found run 2 really hard and it was completely my own fault for putting pressure on myself because there were people about. I rarely see anyone round here, it's a quiet little village but everyone is out currently and for some odd reason I feel the need to up my pace so I don't look so slow. I tell myself I'm runnimg for me and no one else and yet I still do it! 🤷‍♀️
