Wk 6 R1 Well less eventful (not cats) but didn’t enjoy

[JulesL69]

No drama but didn’t enjoy this run. Felt tired and couldn’t wait for Jo to tell me how long I had until I could walk again, the last 60 seconds of the middle (8min) run was the worst.

Funnily enough my pace was quicker than the last runs... still a snails pace ! Just couldn’t enjoy it, kept trying to be positive whilst I was running.

Body felt tired breathing was okay. Purposely went out later as thought my legs would be less tired and it has been hot. Sun was still out and I felt too warm running also.

Will put this behind me, main thing is I completed it and will look forward to run 2.

A lot of us found this run tough so you are in good company. Well done ✅ you did it

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you. Just wasn’t feeling it 😞

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to JulesL69]

I struggle some days and then others are really wonderful

[girlcanrun]

Think it depends on your energy levels too. Well done though 💪 I’ve just finished week 6, suffering with a really sore back at the moment though

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to girlcanrun]

Thanks, have been busy in the house and garden and did feel a bit tired before I ventured out. Hope your back improves 🤞🏻

[girlcanrun in reply to JulesL69]

Thank you 😊

[SJ44 Graduate in reply to girlcanrun]

I developed a very sore back around that time and had a few sessions with a sports injury clinic which really helped.

I'm now onto week 9 run 2 and so far minimal pain!

[girlcanrun in reply to SJ44]

Oh that’s good. May give it a go thanks

[carolinestanford Graduate]

I'm the same Jules - did mine today and after the euphoria of week 5 run 3 wasn't feeling it today either...onwards and upwards

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to carolinestanford]

Bizarre.... never mind we did it 👍🏻. As you say “onwards and upwards”. I do feel better for doing it, just didn’t enjoy it.

[acountrycabbage Graduate in reply to carolinestanford]

Oh, sorry to hear you didn’t enjoy this one, ladies. It seems to be a popular unpopular run..! 🙃 I bet your mojo comes flying back for R2 xxx

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to acountrycabbage]

🤞🏻mojo comes back. 😊

[Dodgylungs Graduate]

But you did it. Well done. Keep going and the enjoyment will ebb and flow.

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to Dodgylungs]

Thanks, hoping r2 will be more enjoyable 🤞🏻

[Dodgylungs Graduate in reply to JulesL69]

Me too. I struggled with Week 6 Run 1. I also tweaked my calf playing football today and my hip is painful. My lungs were still dodgy despite doing the runs and improving my meds. I may not be able to do Run 2 until Wednesday depending on how my calf muscle is. I may eventually have to stop altogether if my hip is going. But until then I’m going to try and enjoy it a little bit

[nowster Graduate in reply to Dodgylungs]

Playing football involves a fair bit of running around, too.

[Dodgylungs Graduate in reply to nowster]

Not the way I play

[nowster Graduate in reply to Dodgylungs]

Nor the way I played at school, long long ago. I was more like a linesman.

[Dodgylungs Graduate in reply to nowster]

I spent half the game in goal today.

[nowster Graduate in reply to Dodgylungs]

They tried me in goal once. Only once.

My preferred position was "left behind".

[Dodgylungs Graduate in reply to nowster]

Mine was right back behind the goal!

[cellovsky]

Well done.... from one snail to another! x

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to cellovsky]

Thanks 😊

[BertieCats Graduate]

Well done! I’ve done a couple of runs in the evening but have realised early morning is best for me, energy levels in the evening feel non existent 😂

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to BertieCats]

Thanks. I thought it might help my legs as sometimes first thing they are tired. Will see if a morning run changes my levels.

[Sassy6264]

I feel you, completed run 8 today! Can’t believe I have got this far. It was hard work though, like you say, my breathing was fine but legs felt heavy, just couldn’t wait for it to end. I just strive for the feeling I get at the end. I really want to be one of those people that loves running 😅

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to Sassy6264]

Me too, I want to be one of those people that soak up the scenery and enjoy rather than thinking how long have I got 🙁

[Love2run1969 Graduate]

Way to go!! Everyone in this group is so supportive 😊They would write to me "it's important that you just moved"👍

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to Love2run1969]

Thanks, yes I felt better when I got home... at least I moved for 30 minutes 😊

[Juliepooh69 Graduate]

I really struggled with this one, no idea why, but it did make me question if I wanted bother, but keep going, snails pace is good 👍 😉

[JulesL69 Graduate in reply to Juliepooh69]

Thanks 😊. R2 tomorrow so 🤞🏻🏃‍♀️
