So I’m totally hooked and can already see what a difference this programme has made and I’m loving it.
Did Wk3 R2 yesterday and took a route to run alongside the water (Southampton Water) as there’s always lots to see and some lovely views. My parents live on this route so once I’d completed my run I popped in for a morning cuppa.
Preparing to walk home (about 20 min walk) I logged an Outdoor Walk on my Apple watch. But I started to wonder whether I could run home. So I put my tunes on and started to run........and didn’t stop until I got home! I didn’t struggle, I went slow and steady and set myself little distance milestones. I didn’t put pressure on myself to do it as it wasn’t one of my runs. I was obviously in a right frame of mind yesterday.
I am absolutely astounded that I did it. I have never, ever in my life ran non-stop for 15 mins. I feel so accomplished and it’s a wonderful feeling.
Cannot wait to see the further progress I make with this programme - I know it’s still early days and I’m going to hit a wall at some point. But it has been a game changer in terms of changing my attitude and mindset to running. This forum is singlehandedly the most supportive, positive and helpful online group I’ve joined.
So thank you C25k ❤️
