Epic fail

[olderrunner]

W8R2 this morning, but I just couldn't do it. Manage to just about get to 10 minutes and could not carry on. Although I was going very slowly, I couldn't get my breathing right and my legs felt like lead weights. Very disapointed considering I managed W8R1 in the pouring rain on Saturday. Will try again on Wednesday.

Oh no! Come on this is not like you! You’re doing so well and are almost there. Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, get those trainers on and go out with a positive attitude - you CAN do this!!!!! 💪🏼

Don’t worry we all have good days and bad days. My first 25 minute run I nearly gave up and was glad when it ended but my next run for 28 I felt a lot better and ran an extra minute at the end. It was much cooler that day which probably helped. I have to go out early before it gets too warm. Keep going.

This happened to me during Week 8 run 3. I got stuck on 20 minutes and couldn’t go past it.

I went out 2 days later, put my own music on and just run instead of fixating on how long.

It worked and I ran for 28 mins.

You will get there . Good luck xx

You have not failed, you took a practice at it. 😉

brush that disappointment away, enjoy your day and power up that positive thinking because you can do this run!

Remember that not all runs will feel right for various reasons and that’s ok! You still got off that chair and went for it.

You’re on week 8...week 8! So close now, what a massive achievement you have made already getting to this week. We are all here cheering you on, come on 🐌🐢🏁🏅

Yep, no such thing as failure, just one time that didn’t work, dust yourself off and when you’re ready, go again 😊

You’ll be fine next time you go out. I believe in you ! We all have off days. Just chalk it to a practise run.
