I did it!
Struggled for the first 5 minutes, my legs felt heavy and unhelpful thoughts kept popping up inside my head. I had to give myself a good talking to. It worked and once Sarah informed me I was halfway there I found it easier to settle into a steady pace. It really is mind over matter.
Well done. I did my first yesterday I did find after the 2nd 3rd run I was finishing bit early was getting tired. But I did finish the whole session. It did say to rest a day before start 2nd run but tempted to just give it try and take it bit easy.
Good luck x
When you run, the impact creates microtears in your muscles, which repair and strengthen on your rest days, not while running. Without rest, repair and strengthening are compromised and injury risk increased.
Please read the guide to the plan and do not be tempted to miss rest days...........many have regretted ignoring this bit of basic advice in the past.
Ok thank you. I'll rest today then. I don't want no injuries going back to work soon.
Thank you
Thank you. Good luck with your next run 😊
Well done CR it is mind over matter, a little word with oneself generally does the trick, failing that a swift kick in the pants 😂👍.
9 runs to go Kaboom 🥳
Yes it’s like I have the devil I one ear and an angel in the other! As if it’s only 9 runs to the finishing line 😳
Honestly that is me. When I just give up and think yeah I've done enough and I've only ran like 20 secs 🤭
Well done that’s brilliant. I think you’ve reached official runner point now!
I’m due to do this run tomorrow but struggled on the last session so hoping it goes okay.
Aaaw thank you! A runner 😬 Good luck tomorrow. I did miss my walking breaks however it did enable me to get into a steady pace.
Well done.
Heavy legs could be poor hydration healthunlocked.com/couchto5... or maybe just the Toxic Ten healthunlocked.com/couchto5...
Or a combo? I know I need to drink more water prior to running so will work on this. Any tips on pre-run snacks. I had a banana about 45 mins beforehand. Is this enough?
I run first thing in the morning and recently have not eaten anything before any run, although my former habit was half a banana for 5k, a whole one for 10k, but I am the last of the big spenders.
As stated in the guide to the plan, if you eat a good balanced diet there is no necessity for anything extra for a C25k workout.
Fab. Thank you! Will just work on my water consumption 💦
Well done, giving yourself a talking to can work wonders can’t it 😄 you’re getting so close now only 2 more weeks to graduation it’s getting exciting!
It really does help to give your head a wobble yes 😂 Whoop 9 more runs to graduation 👩🎓
Brilliant, well done for having a chat with yourself and getting through 👍👍
Thank you 🙂
Fantastic effort, well done on pushing through , and having a wee chat to yourself to get to the end.
Congrats! 😀😀😀
Thank you. It really works 😬
Nice one ,onto full runs now no walking great stuff
Thank you! Yes I could have killed for a walking break in those first 5 minutes but was thankful for the lack of them once I’d got my head round the run - got into a steady pace 👍🏼
