Gremlins got to me 🙁

[Dreambird]

Went out later than I planned felt ok but the gremlins sat in my shoulder - couldn’t shake them off 😩. Got to 12 mins in and I stopped walked a bit, jogged a bit more and finally walked home. Just put it down to one if those days.

Not sure where my motivation has gone at the moment but I’m finding consolidation rather tough. Still onwards and upwards keep on running 🏃🏼‍♀️👍

I guess it can be hard on consolidation as you don't have the same structure !

But also, we can't expect a pb every time we run !

We're human , we have an off day occasionally, all we can do is treat it as a learning curve ! Because that's all off days are !

Don't beat yourself up about it ,

I'm sure you will be different on your next run ! 🙂👍

Thanks you’re so right - I’m being a bit hard on myself. It’s just an off day. 🤞🏃🏼‍♀️✅

A run is better than no run! Put it down to an ‘off run’, rest and go again.

Consolidation is tough. I’m using the C25K+ Stepping Stone series (3 podcast: Stepping Stone, Speed and Stamina). I’ve only done one with the plan to attempt Speed today. I’m already procrastinating ...

I have been exactly the same. Did my first week of consolidation runs without much of an issue. But since then really struggled and having to walk large parts of the 5k. Legs all okay but the breathing seem to have deserted me????

I wonder why it is ? We know we can do this but then something seems to put doubts in our heads. It’s tough - we’re new to running so let’s just keep on getting out there and running 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃‍♂️🤞👍✅😊

Absolutely!! I do think it’s psychological. Need another target to aim for I think xx
