Week 6 Run 2

[Runningscared42]

Done! Totally didnt want to get up this morning and thought was going to be awful but had great run and even felt disappointed when had to take the 3 min break as really wanted to keep going Have no idea how I'm going to manage 25 mins straight but just trying to tell myself 'have faith in the programme'! 😊

Well done! Keep it slow if you're struggling to get to 25 mins.. I tried not to clock watch too much during the 20 min run last week... I use objects around to help me, such as 'run as far as the big tree, as far as the traffic lights, the next junction' - in tough moments I find that spurs me on!!

I'm off to do my week 6 run 2 later this morning 😊

Lol I was torallydoing that, 'just to the next gate...' but it works! Good luck for later

Run done 🙂 I listened to a podcast today instead of music and found I didn't clock watch as much.. a good tip 👍

Fantastic well done for completing the run. Isn't getting out of bed the hardest bit? Lol

I had a bit of a block with this run and put it off. But I was really surprised how well it went. Good luck with r3 but I'm sure you'll smash it. Get the good tunes going 😎😂

[Runningscared42 Graduate in reply to Brunsamarathon]

Tunes are a must for me, louder the better and I sing as I go but helps me to stop worrying about breathing/ being tired/ etc etc. Getting out of bed is so tough some days tho I wonder how things will feel if I'm still trying to do this come autumn/ winter! 😂

That's great. I'm only a little bit ahead of you and felt the same about the long runs I actually think they are easier. I knew I had to oace myself from the start but I seem to have miraculously found that rhythm everyone talks about and it sometimes feels like running just happens now. I'm doing run 2 of week 8 today and the first 6 weeks were definitely the most difficult.
