Week7 ...feeling demoralised

[Steeps93]

Was looking forward to week 7 after completing 25 mins on Friday with relative ease. Started on a good stead but then ran into a friend I have not seen in a good while (even before lockdown) so stood Chatting for ages. I was only about 8 minutes into my run so tried to start again but just couldn't. This is the first run I've not completed and now I'm feeling rubbish! Should I try again tomorrow?

Continuous running does mean you can't stop to chat......

Have a rest day and then try again.

Thanks. It was lovely to see my friend, just disappointed I was swayed off plan so easily !

Don't be so hard on yourself..........talking to friends is important and the run will still be there to be done in a couple of days.

Don’t beat yourself up, just have another go 😊

Thanks, went back out this morning and did 25 mins so feeling much better 😊
