I completed run two of week seven today. Heart, body and soul were not in sync today. The mind was willing but the flesh was weak.
This is the first time this has happened?! I’m not on my own, right? This happens, yeah?
Sadistically, it’s made me look forward to run three all the more now.
Matt
I’ve just completed week 7 and this post pretty much sums up each of my runs.
It’s well worth it though! Keep it up!
Well done! 💪🏻🥳
I'm not on week 7 yet but I read your post and thought every credit for carrying on. You did well to persevere when you weren't really feeling it
I graduated 3 weeks ago. Ran 5k on Saturday ok, yesterday struggled to do 3k. It happens to us all.
Been there! Some runs are ‘textbook’ and others are a real challenge. My frame of mind has a big impact I think. Stresses and strains of everyday life can affect how you run, plus how hydrated you are, warm ups etc all play a part. I start WK8 tomorrow so not too far ahead of you. Good luck with your remaining runs
It happens to the best of us... and it happens to a lot of people in week 7! You got over the finish line though, great job. Next one will be a little easier, enjoy.
Just finished week 7 and felt exactly the same! It happens! God knows how I’m going to do week8. Well done for finishing your run 🏃♀️ 😀
That definitely happens to everyone and you pushed through to finish- nice one!
You are not alone. I struggled through W7 R2 too....trying to go a bit too fast for my capability. No way am I going to stop now having come this far! I have left a two day break in case my body is trying to tell me something and I'm embarking on R3 tomorrow.
Hey......the best thing is you didn't stop and still have a lot of fight in you! 👍💪
Smash that next run!
Well done mate. You're doing better than I ever did. My three elements are never in sync....except during the 5 minute walks at each end...lol. Keep up the good work.
You completed the run so well done. We all have good runs and bad runs but it is all good experience.
I found week 7 a real struggle as well, but strangely once I got to week 8 everything improved.
Hi it does indeed happen. You will have epic runs and crappy runs hut they are still runs. You are onwards to graduating and that’s a great thing 😁 keep it up.
I’ve had a few of these so far. Horrendous at the time but when you finish you feel a sense of achievement. I just assume it’s made me a stronger runner every time it happens, even if it feels like it’s shaved a year or two off my life 😬
Glad you stuck with it. I've just completed 7 - 1, so 7 - 2 is next for me.
Thank you. How did it go?!
Hi. Did it this morning and it wasn't too bad. I must stress that I do follow Laura's advice not to run too fast! I'm reasonably confident of being able to do the 30 mins in wk 9 but I'll be woefully short of the 5k.
You are definitely not on your own!! Just read my posts! Isn’t funny how you look forward to the next run when you’ve just been through absolute hell! 😂
Good on you. Keep going! 😊👏
Keep going Matty cos I'm right behind ya 😁💪👍
Thank you! Keep up Burkey, I can’t do it alone! 😊🦾
Week 4 run 3 - that was hard
week 6, run 2 - that was very hard!
week 8 run 2 -hard work
Week 6 run 1 was hard work!
Week 5 run was hard 😬
