Where is the love?

[peglegs]

Hi everyone my first post. Just did w9r2 so just about there. My sister told me about c25k and delighted and excited to know I could even run. Still don't feel like a real runner. Feel like the mental challenge of not giving up keeps me going rather than loving the run. When does the love kick in?

Well done to get to where you are, 1 more to the big graduation.

I graduated a few weeks ago now, and am now going to slowly work my way up to 10k.

Had a really enjoyable run yesterday. Did 5k, had a good podcast on and ran on different surfaces, bit of tarmac, bit of beach, finished off in Park.

No worrying about pace.

You may end up enjoying it more when you're off the c25k program and have the freedom to choose your runs.

I like to go on Google maps and look for places to run and explore.

Wish you well, and keep running🏃‍♂️☺️👍

Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm.

Thanks for the encouragement and advice. I am going to drop the pace and just going to commit to 30 minutes 3 times a week, for a couple of weeks after I graduate to see how it feels. The couch is not an option.
