Good work! I have just completed week 3 and feel so good. I am going through a relationship split in the last few weeks which has hit me hard mentally. The running is a great escape for me and just taking in the beautiful surroundings lifts me. It’s just those few moments when I’m not occupied that I slip.

Sorry to take up your thread with my problems!! Keep going 👍🏻

No worries! I felt so good yesterday after that run as I suffer with depression and anxiety. Think it gave me the boost I need!

[GC123 in reply to Hidden]

Yes it definitely will give you that boost. What I struggle with and need to work on is taking that boost and then carrying it on for the day.

[Hidden in reply to GC123]

Yes I’m struggle with that too. Having loads of bouts of fatigue at the moment.

[GC123 in reply to Hidden]

Fatigue from the running or in general? If this is first running for 8 years that would be expected. My mind is constantly tired for me as I overthink everything and don’t love myself the way I should.

[Hidden in reply to GC123]

No mainly my fatigue is from overthinking and worrying about things that are out of my control. I have also felt fatigued a lot lately I believe from lack of mental stimulation. Think everyone is feeling the same though due to current circumstances. I actually felt running helped lift my energy levels! Oh no sorry to hear that, I’m the same really lack in self confidence.

Well done Cathtay ☺

You have made the hardest step, getting out the door and completing the first run 🏃 😊

We all started with that one, lots of us believing that we would never be able to run for 30 minutes - but the programme is brilliant & before you know it, you'll be wondering what you were worried about 😁

Keep posting, it's great to hear about your progress

Happy running 🏃, stay safe 😊
