Well that was awful, one I will have to repeat. Could not get a rhythm or my breathing under control today therefore had to keep stopping to get my breath back, so windy again this morning though so think is why I struggled...annoyed with myself for not keeping going!!!

The wind is a pest.. always in your face! Well done you! Some runs can be tricky, but then, some can be amazing!

Be proud that you went and you ran.. that run will wait, the wind will drop and you will have a wonderful slow and steady run :)

It’s tough when you have a challenging run. I had to repeat a Week 7 run too. Just do it again and move on to Week 8 👍🏼

I know the feeling! I think a lot of the time it’s a mental attitude for me - I start to think how hard it is , not sure I’ll be able to do it etc and then I end up stopping and disappointing myself. I also get fixated on listening for the announcements. This is also bad- I think if you can think of something else apart from wondering how long it is until you’ve done half, 3/4 or whatever, you have a better chance. I’m on week 9 run 2 although I might repeat run 1 as I stopped twice although it was only for a few seconds.

Try not to beat yourself up- at least we’re trying!
