Was really excited to finally get to W9 and be able to complete the programme this week.
Started really well but after half way through felt a twinge in my right quad. Common sense says stop and walk back, but no..... I carried on even though I knew it was sore, because I wanted to complete my first 30 minute run.
I did complete it, but didnβt get the feel good factor at having done my first 30 minute run π’. Iβm so disappointed in myself. Pride and eagerness got in the way π‘
So yet again Iβm on the injury couch doing RICE. Hopefully it will recover by the weekend.
Anyone with niggles donβt be like me, stop and walk back. Itβs not worth the set back particularly in W9 βΉοΈ

Well hopefully this recovers more quickly as I donβt want too lose the fitness Iβve built up. But less of my moaning. My a Dad always said β patience is a virtueβ so I guess Iβll be patient ππ»
Awww noooo.... so gutting, especially in week 9. I was only reflecting on Sunday about me being on the "niggle couch" on week 8. I think the ramp up to running 3 long runs at this stage does add some exponential stresses. But, if I can reassure you, I have just completed consolidation 20 and run at least 25 minutes to 38 in each of these and occasionally my knee feels "funny" or muscles feel right, but usually still OK to gonour for the next planned session.
Hope this helps!!
When I was at this week 8 or 9 stage, I had to sit it out for 4 days and then carried on and completed as planned.
My own fault really, I should have listened to my body. But no point crying over spilt milk now.
If it 4 days or longer I wonβt quit. Think I was feeling sorry for myself and very frustrated earlier. When I was injured in W6 I was out for 5 weeks and had to go back and start from W 3 to get my fitness back.
So I will definitely carry on.
Your post has really helped, I will get back out there and do it! πͺ
Bty, well done on your consolidations. Wow ππͺ
