Need some motivation

[Stouffer42]

I graduated about three weeks ago, ran twice the following week, and haven't had any motivation to go since, resulting in 2 and a half weeks of no running. Where's my mojo gone? Anyone else find this?

It can be difficult after you complete the program, have you been over to the bridge to 10k forum ?

Take a look at the consolidation club for ideas .

Or you could download the Nike running club app for some guided runs if you want to still have a coach ,

Try and get out soon though! You don't want to waste all your effort and your achievement .

Good luck 👍

Find somewhere new and interesting to run? Although I have not yet graduated, I try to vary my routes to make them more interesting.

Definitely! I missed Laura whispering sweet nothings in my ear😂. I signed up to A 5k virtual sponsored run to motivate me to reach that 5k, then I signed up to 50k in August to keep me getting out there. I’ve done 47/50 so far. I definitely need some external motivation to get out there but once out I love it! I’ve just started using the C25K plus podcasts (stepping stones, speed and stamina) and have found them enjoyable and motivating. Nice to catch up with Laura again too 😂 MontyMooDog (on this site) has also started a weekly 5k on here too that I’ve committed to doing once a week if humanly possible. The Nike Run Club app also has a lots of guided runs to work your way through and then there is bridge to 10K 😲 again on this site. Not quite ready for that myself! Check in on the Consolidation Club too for inspiration and motivation. You can feel a bit lost when the plan is over so it’s good to make another, more personalised one, to move on to. Hope some of that helps 🤗

Have you read the guide to post C25k running healthunlocked.com/couchto5... which has ideas.

Why did you start running?

Have you achieved those aims?

Create some short, medium and long term aims for your running and build your training regime around those.
