Decided because I’m an idiot that I would go for a run in the heat (didn’t realise how sunny it was) in long black leggings and a black top - only made it to 22 minutes before feeling so faint and sick I had to stop! So disappointed but will go early morning next time instead 😵😵😵

We don’t use the F word on here! So you tried something different and it didn’t work. You still got of the sofa and went out to run for 22 minutes. You just had a practice run for the real thing! Go out next time at your usual time and smash that run into smithereens like it deserves 😀

A run is a run right?...
You learned something today so take the positives from that. Plus you managed 22 minutes - so way to go you 👏
I'm sure you will smash it next time 🏃♀️🏃♀️

No such thing as a fail. We all know that its an acronym for....First. Attempt. In. Learning. It's experience that adds up. The more you run the more you learn what works for you. Enjoy the next run👍 you've got this!!

22 minutes... and some learning... I don’t see a fail there. It wasn’t the run you set off to do, but it was a run that gives you more victories on your journey.

You did 22 minutes, that's way more than you could do a few weeks ago, right?
Also, you're not an idiot. If you were, 1, you wouldn't already have decided to do things differently next time, and 2, there wouldn't be a next time.

Have to agree with the majority no way is that a fail. 22 minutes you did great.
Come on chin-up next time your going to smash it no matter what 👍🏻

Running in the heat is tough, you did it for 22 mins🔥🏃💪. Give yourself the advice you'd give any of us!!

No need to feel disappointed, sometimes we have to try things to see if we can do them. Just write it off as an experience learned and have another go when you’re ready 🙂
