Times of change 🙃

[Jnubster]

Back to work for me tomorrow 🙄so I’m going to have to change my times to run!! 🏃🏽‍♀️ How rude that work gets in the way!! How dare you 🤣🤩

[Sussex13 Graduate]

Oh how rude of work.. I’m also back tomorrow after 10 day holiday, am not looking forward to it. Will have to get up early for my run.. early night for me and you tonight then! 😂

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Sussex13]

Yes I did think about getting up extra early too but I know the thought of returning to work after 6 was off will be a struggle 🤣🙈#woeisme 🙄

It will be a run as soon as I’m home and I think I’ll be looking forward to it 🏃🏽‍♀️

Have a good day tomorrow!!

[Sussex13 Graduate in reply to Jnubster]

You too lovely. Hope it goes well and enjoy your post work run. X

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Sussex13]

Thank you 😊

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Yes, I started working again on 13 July a couple of weeks before finishing C25K,

It's so inconsiderate 😁

So o usually run now around 06:00 in the morning 😳😴

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Instructor57]

Wow!! I’m going to see how it goes this week being back. If it works out ok I’ll go with it. If not it will be early doors for me 🙈🤣🤣

[chunkypie Graduate]

I normally run as soon as I get in from work because once I sit down i wont get back up and to go b4 work I'd have to get up at 4 and that's not happening 😔

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to chunkypie]

Yes that’s exactly my plan! There’s not a chance I’m running at 4 or 5! I love my bed 🛌 🤣

[Magicfairy11]

Same here. I hate running in the afternoons and evenings aswell. If I run in the morning though I’ll have to set off at 5.30am 🤦‍♀️ as I normally get up at 6am. I’m already demotivated....! X

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Magicfairy11]

I’ve been lucky to do it first thing in a morning & then chill at home. It’s going to take a little adjusting to x

[Maz1103 Graduate]

Same... Have to do 2 afternoon runs now 😬

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Maz1103]

How’re you finding it?

[Maz1103 Graduate in reply to Jnubster]

More effort but I will get used to it. Need to have a light lunch!!

[VPOLLIE67 Graduate]

Back to work for me tomorrow too lol. Evening runs from here on in.

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to VPOLLIE67]

We can do this💪🏼🤩

[nowster Graduate]

I've been working from home since March, and there's no imminent signs of us returning to the office yet.

That said, I've taken the rest of this week as annual leave. I'm just going to do stuff round the house with a couple of fair weather trips out.

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to nowster]

Enjoy your annual leave & chill 👍🏻🥰Enjoy your trips too!

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Ha! I never stopped work or worked from home so fit running round work hours, it’s very satisfying

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Sounds perfect 👌🏻 I’m sure I will get myself into a new routine!

[Tillybeach Graduate]

Reading your posts has just hit me with reality! I started C25K at the beginning of lockdown, although I have continued to work, there has been no school runs or after school activities so I have been pretty much able to run when I like. BUT next week it's back to school runs and taking my children to ballet, clubs etc. It's going to be quite a change! Going to have to change my routine. I have become so addicted to running though, I can see myself not happy if I can't do the runs🤔.

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Tillybeach]

This is totally me!! I’m back to school runs too, encouraging a teenager out of bed 🙄 oh the joys!!

However I got home from work a little earlier than planned today! As soon as I was in I got changed and went out for a 4 mile run. I was shattered when I got back, it was 20 degrees with little wind!

It felt good & now I’m thrilled I did it especially after feeling so miffed 👍🏻 We can do this! Good luck x

[Tillybeach Graduate in reply to Jnubster]

Well done for going straight out. I don't run as well after work but I feel good and better for it!

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Tillybeach]

Thanks 😊 I had to as I thought of I sat down for 5 minutes that would be it! I’m glad I did x

[Health2020 Graduate]

I know that inconsiderate thing called work!! 😂 Whilst I was furloughed I had a great routine of having enough days rest between runs but then being able to run on any days, not limited to work schedule !!

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Health2020]

I’ve loved being able to pick when I go! First thing for me was cooler, quieter & once it was done it was done!

Felt refreshing knowing that exercise was fine for the day

[Bbq1 Graduate]

Oh yes, i return to work tomorrow too. I feel your pain! I am not a morning person at all, I could never run early mornings. Ugh! I usually run round 11 0r 12. On Sunday evening I went for a 7 pm run to prep for this week abd it was a revelation. It was cooler, quieter and i ran my fastest time! I will be tired after work but it'll be a case of gear laid out, change and out. If I don't do that I'll be settling in for the night. Looking forward to a couple of evening runs now. Keep doing what you're doing

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Bbq1]

Hope you have a good day back at work tbh it wasn’t that bad being back! I did exactly that, got in, got changed and ran 💪🏼 shattered now but worth it as I feel refreshed and pleasantly relaxed 😎

[Crolla]

I'm going to have to change my times too. I've been going at 8am to avoid the heat and it's a good start to the day, but I run in a park near a primary school so once that reopens I'll be careening into buggies and scooters. Trying to decide between an earlier run or a different route.

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Crolla]

Oh yes, I expect it will be busy as school will be open! Maybe avoid that! Might be good to try a different route? Good luck xx

[Floss66]

I’m really struggling with this, I work 7 till 5.15, such long days, can’t go in the morning, no time, after a busy day I just can’t find the energy! I was I’ll for 2 weeks there so ended up having to go back to week 5, tonight should’ve been run 3 but didn’t go 😠, really not happy with myself!

Thanks everyone for all the tips etc, first time I’ve posted but love reading all the chats

[Jnubster Graduate in reply to Floss66]

If you’ve been poorly your energy levels will be low 😔 don’t be too hard on yourself, give yourself some time to recoup.

You’re probably shattered when you get home after a long day!! Could you do a shorter run? The way I think about it is any run is better than none 💪🏼 take care of yourself first and foremost though xx
