Week 6 run 3 ✅

[robertmark97]

Didn’t fancy this run today and struggled to find my Rhythm in the first 5 minutes and considered giving up a few times but dug in and got the run completed, never thought I could get to this stage 6 weeks ago so proud to have come this far, nursing my legs now and feeling shattered 👍🏻

Well done! 🎉 I’m one run ahead of you, and did this run on Sunday. It felt much more manageable having done the 20 minute one the week before I thought

Thank you and well done to you as well, yes once I was 10 mins in I felt confident about the run and enjoyed it 👍🏻

Well done.

You are experiencing the Toxic Ten, which affects all runners to a greater or lesser degree and is why it is not a good idea to push hard at the beginning of a run.

It is explained here healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Thank you for the info 👍🏻

Well done! I did the same today and struggled mentally for first half but kept pushing on and feel so proud of myself now. Now to rest then into wk7!

[robertmark97 Graduate in reply to Maddie82]

Well done Maddie, I think it’s all mental now, I spend the time before the run thinking no way can I do that etc then have to talk myself out of wanting to give up while I’m doing it but still manage to get through it, good luck in week 7 👍🏻

[Maddie82 Graduate in reply to robertmark97]

Thank you.

Yes I never imagined that would be the hardest bit.

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 6, you are now OFFICIALLY a RUNNER, although you are feeling shattered now you should be very proud of yourself, onwards and upwards to week 7 🏃🏾 😊.
