Actually completed wk8 r3

[TryingbutDetetmined]

I’ve just completed my last run of week 8. I found the last 2/3 runs so hard to motivate my self both before and during. Determined though I went out today and even felt like I could do a little more at the end.

Nowhere near 5k just reaching 4K at the end of the run but will worry about that later .

Well done on what you have achieved this week. Getting out there is the hardest bit. Doesn’t it feel good though when you’ve done it!

[TryingbutDetetmined Graduate in reply to Joggingbottom]

It definitely does . Still determined- thank you

Getting through runs when you’re struggling for motivation is a massive achievement, well done 😊

That’s great, very well done. 😄

You have discovered that we all need a habit/ discipline in our running for those occasions when we are not feeling enthusiastic.

I never ask myself if I want to go on a run, I just do it. - we still reap all the many benefits even when we’re not feeling the passion! 😄

Thanks Elfe5.

Great advice not to think too much beforehand. It’s definitely the mental side and not the physical side that I am struggling with. 😀

I was exactly the same but when W9 is in sight, something kicks in and gives you that extra boost, no idea what it is but it was very welcome (I’m on W9 R2). I think it’s the realisation that ‘I’ve actually done this!’ - keep going, not long now! 💪🏼
