Managed to run week6/run 3 today after giving up last Friday. I repeated run 2 on Wednesday and it went well. Today I just started a bit slower and kept saying β€œyou can do this”. Also decided I didn’t want to repeat week 6 again πŸ˜‚. Onwards to week 7. Oh and it was easier today as it was not so warm !

I was a repeat of W6R3 today too, we got this now! Looking to see the difference by the end of Week 7 with how I find this run as I enjoyed my route so will probably do the same one for the next 3 runs!

I live in a hilly area so I’m stuck with a small number of routes whilst I get my stamina up to get over some of the hills. Today I had two little hills for the first time, it caught my breath but I got it back to continue!

Well done on the hilly routes 😍. It’s good to have a bit of hill to change the tempo. I’m going to try a different route next week , I’ve been hiding from people so far but now I’m hoping I won’t want to stop if people are around πŸ˜‚. Good luck πŸ‘πŸ»

I’ve found people to actually all be nice, it’s quite nice waving or saying hello to other runners no matter how red-faced I am πŸ˜‚

I did get overtaken by a fast walker this morning though which was a fun new experience and then some guy was literally lapping me while he was sprinting around a field I was going at snail pace around! It kept me motivated to not stop! πŸ˜‚

Keep at it, we will get there πŸ₯°. I did C25k a few years ago and went on to do 5k and 10k but injuries time and age got in the way ! Lockdown and reading posts on here mad3 me think maybe I could do this again. I’m chuffed that I’ve reached this far. Here’s to next week πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ˜Š
