Did my W9R3 on Saturday (was lucky enough to be on holiday in Blackpool and did my final C25K run on the beautiful prominade in Lytham St Anne's) never been so happy in my life!!! Went back to our guest house and told my husband that I'd completed the C25K (I didn't tell him... In case I gave up..... I have previous....πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚) he was delighted for me ❀️ had a wee glass of wine 🍷 to celebrate with my dinner that nightπŸ‘Œ

Had my usual day of rest then set off this morning and I must say I had no drive, enthusiasm or motivation πŸ˜•πŸ˜³ WTF!!!! I have just completed an amazing self challenge and my motivation has disappeared...... Please help me get my mojo back its MIA!!!!

I am very proud of myself and I am truly beginning to love my wee runs.... Don't want to give up BUT what now?

Thanks in advance for any advice or information to get me motivated again!!!

Congratulations!! This is what i’m worried about after I graduate - I need a focus to keep me motivated and having the podcast in my ear stops me from just giving up when it gets tough! I’m 3 weeks away from graduating but I think my plan is to do 2x 30 minute runs and 1x 5K a week (think my time will be around 35 minutes if I can keep my current pace) and consolidate this for a few weeks. Think I’m then going to try Ju-Ju’s Magic 10K plan! Can’t believe i’m actually saying that haha! I know having a goal is what motivates me so I think still having something to aim for is the key, but of course your aim could be to improve your pace instead and stick to the 5K! Hope this helps somewhat, and massive congratulations again!

Massive well done and congratulations!!!

I’m exactly where you are - with both the programme and mentally! My mojo was definitely MIA this morning before my first consolidation run.

Check out the posts on my page for an insight into how I’m approaching the next stage!

You’ve got this!!!

It's nice and flat round there. I'd imagine it would have been a glorious run with good views and fresh air.

Congratulations! πŸ†
