Emotional tears

[Curlywarrior]

I have just started the 3rd WK of my couch to 5k journey I have to say I got really upset after my 1st run of WK 3 as I completed it, is that normal is it just endorphins?

From reading your bio, it sounds like you have a lot going on to deal with si not surprising you feel emotional after your runs !

I hope you enjoy the program 👍

I think running can be quite interesting and release a lot of emotions. Because running sort of empties your mind, it may be that everything else going on in your life can kind of spill out at the end of a run. Plus you put a lot of physical and mental effort into running. Maybe that spilling out of emotions will actually have been a positive thing in the end. You achieved a lot, so be proud!

Thankyou really appreciate this 😊

I think running may be one of the best things you can do for yourself at the moment. Take care and good luck, it will be worth it. Running, in my experience, is so good to make you feel powerful and less fearful.

I don’t know. I got emotional on R5w3. Not sure why!? Wk6 I felt a natural high of achievement. And had energy off the scale. So a build up maybe?

Thankyou I look forward to WK 6 in the hope I get a high hehe 😊🤞

Think it was about week7or8 when i had an emotional run. Couldn’t figure out why. But running has become a bit of an emotional rollercoaster for me 🤔it seems to get us all in different ways x
