W7 R1,2&3 I struggled!!

[KatieLGettins]

I finished week 7 yesterday and I was so disappointed that I found it so hard! So now I’m dreading tomorrow’s 28 minute run. I s’pose I thought it wld just be easier as I’ve completed the previous weeks without the trouble I did with W7.

I also made the mistake of using an app to track how far I’d run and I’m only covering just over 3.1k in the 25 min runs so I’m a long way off 5k.

I know I’m 3.1k further ahead of where I was 7 weeks ago, I’m proud of myself, I really am, BUT another 2k is going to hurt like hell! I’m slow 🐌. I plod. Don’t get me wrong when I get home I feel great as I’ve accomplished something I never thought I’d do. I’ve never stuck to anything like this. C25K has definitely given me more motivation than anything before. Anyone else say ‘well as I’m an athlete now .......’ 😂🏃🏼‍♀️

Reaching 5k is going to take some time for me and I know I’m not the only one, I just felt I’d be a little further along in distance.

I need a clear mindset for W8, put the nasty W7 behind me and carry on doing what I have been doing.

Amongst it all I am loving C25K. I’m amazed I’ve come this far. Just need to be a little less harder on myself. Running is hard. I’ve not exercised for years and years. I’ll get there, it’ll just need a little more work & dedication after I graduate. 6 runs left......

You CAN do it! I plod too, my distance this morning was 2.97. I know I'm slow but I'm so determined to get faster and by all accounts I will. I'm not focussing on speed or distance bit simply enjoying the pleasure of the plod and the fabulous sense of achievement!
