First 30 minute run this morning and boy am I proud that I managed to run for that long!! πŸ₯³

It’s definitely a mental game with me as after 10 minutes I felt like another 20 was impossible, but thank goodness I carried on because I managed 4.89K!! 😱 how on Earth I done that I will never know haha

Only 2 runs left now and fingers crossed I can make the magical 5K number!

So near now! Our mind (with all the noisy gremlins living there) is our greatest enemy as runners. But you clearly beat yours into submission - keep practising that skill and those gremlins will simply sulk quietlyπŸ™Š. Bear in mind the majority of people don't actually reach 5k in the 30 minute runs; you're amazingly close but 30 minutes is your goal for week 9 and 5k can always be a goal for your consolidation runs. You've got this - graduation is in sight πŸ‘

Not what you're looking for?
