Failed Week7 r1!

Hi everyone, I hope you’re all enjoying the 🌞. I ran on the treadmill today (well attempted to!) and I really struggled! All my runs so far have been outdoors and today I just couldn’t keep the momentum going, I stopped a couple of times and now I feel very disheartened. Has this happened to anyone else when switching from running outside? Also, I found the treadmill so BORING! Couldn’t keep my eyes off clock!

At one point my PBs for duration stood at 90 minutes outdoors and 5 minutes on the treadmill... I think it’s fair to say I didn’t get on with it for a while. The 5 minutes was when I hit the stop button and ran home instead. It’s boring... I still need the distraction of something to watch on TV.

You didn’t fail... you tried something new and didn’t like it. Good on you for trying.

Maybe it is the boredom that makes is so much more difficult, like you I think I need a distraction . Onwards and upwards eh!
