W2 R3 done! On to week 3 🤩

[sally1993]

I dragged my boyfriend along today because my confidence was knocked after my struggle last time and that woman’s stupid comment on my last post (now deleted). I also had a very down day anyway so getting out was a debate and thank god I did! I kept my pace more steady this time but probably wasn’t going slow enough, especially to head into the third week but that’s ok I’ll try going even slower next run 🙂. I didn’t use strava as this isn’t about the pace, it’s about the journey and programme. Feeling much happier now. Thanks for everyone’s advice getting me this far ❤️. Hopefully my trainers will be here for week 3 😁 xxxx

Fantastic well done for putting the gremlin in its box lol..and what a great boyfriend you have for supporting you!

If you managed to keep a pace throughout that maybe the one for you. See how week 3 goes.

Ooo how to the gait analysis go?

Thats the first negative comment I have seen on here. She must have been having a bad day but she had no right to project that on you so good for you for putting it out of your head and carrying on.......bring on week 3...you got this 😁🏃‍♂️👍

[sally1993 in reply to Brunsamarathon]

I agree she must have been but nevermind now! Thank you for all your kind words ☺️ gait analysis was cool! I can’t believe I ran in a shop on a treadmill for the world to see 😂😂😂. I fall into the supination category so neutral shoes it is for me 👍. Have you had yours done yet? Xx

Hiya Sally. I start W3 tomorrow 🥺. We're in it together. Stay strong and good luck 😊

[sally1993 in reply to mattymoo33]

Yay let me know how it goes!! Good luck to you too 😬 x

Well done 🙌 I’m so sorry you got a confidence-sapping post 😢 Not what this forum is for at all. I haven’t used anything other than the app during this whole challenge. Maybe one day I’ll be interested in how far I go but for me it was all about completing each run as set. You’re doing brilliantly!

[sally1993 in reply to SJ60]

Thank you! 🙌🙂

[61Lady Graduate]

Well done you - mental and physical challenge I’ve found.

Didn’t see negative response to post but so pleased you are sticking with the programme.

How lovely that you had a running supporter but always remember there’s us too.

I’ve only ever had useful advice, encouragement and tips from the guys on here so you have been really unlucky.

So glad you’ve risen above it and continued.

Keep going - you are amazing for doing this.

Definitely something to be proud of 👏👏👏

[sally1993 in reply to 61Lady]

Thank you so much! Lovely words and you’re right I do have you guys! Xx

Oh I’m sorry you had a bad experience on this site, usually I have lots of positivity and it’s so annoying that a bad apple on here got you

Down x well done for going forward anyway and not letting that person stop your amazing effort! Good luck and happy running!

[PhoenixRise Graduate]

Well done for completing Week 2!!! You’ve got this in the bag!!!

Yesterday was a very hot 🥵 day so well done for getting out and completing W2R3!!!

[Smile23 Graduate]

Well done you.

Remember its one run at A time. Every new one is an achievement.

This Journey is all about you not Anyone else

Keep it up you are doing fab😁

Enjoy the new trainers x

[Moomin63 Graduate]

Well done! So glad you got out and great you had your boyfriend with you. I did this run much slower too and found it made a massive difference to my stamina and breathing! We are on to week 3!!! (Terrified!). Let us know how the trainers go. I’ve got very old ones so probably will be upgrading too! 😀

[sally1993 in reply to Moomin63]

I know week three already! 😱 how is it moving so fast 🏃🏼‍♀️ x

[Nilsam Graduate]

So sorry if you had problems, Sally1993. But glad you were able to get out and run today. 👍🏃🏼‍♀️👣
