Tongue in cheek but that feeling when you're on week 7, and are in the process of completing your 4th 25 min run, feeling like a goddess, when suddenly, out of nowhere, some dude wearing a fetching bobble hat and sexy socks runs past you from behind, giving you a much needed breeze as he's going so damned fast. And you realize just how slow you're actually going. Still at least my ass is not parked up on that couch, and I do have the capability to knit myself a fetching bobble hat 😁
Feeling humiliated ! : Tongue in cheek but that... - Couch to 5K
Feeling humiliated !

I've been both the person who passed and the person who was passed.
When I went past the lady who I overtook, I said good morning and gave her a thumbs up. I hope it was appreciated.

You made me chuckle there, same thing happened to me, a few weeks ago!!! 🐢😂😂
This happens to me ALL the time. However, I run past lots of walkers and am loads faster that those who are on the couch,

Happens all the time! I just tell myself I'm running further than them, even if that might not be true!

I know where you’re coming from Imoca! I was brisk walking back from week 7 run 1 when a guy loaded up with water bottles and gadgets literally sprinted past me!! I’ll never be that fast but I’m so thrilled to have got over the gremlins of week 5 run 3 and to have smashed week 6. I’ve now done my second 25 minute run and it feels fantastic!! 😄👍🏅

Ignore old sexy socks, he’s probably just left his house, will run round the corner and stop as he’s out of breath. Your doing brilliantly Imoca 👍and as you say unlike a lot of people who seem to have a dodgy clutch, you’ve actually got your ass in gear and your out there running 😂 well done 🏃♀️
Stamina, not speed!
As has been said earlier stamina not speed ... I often get overtaken by some gazelle like beings ... but hey, you and I are still off the couch and running ... I saw this “enjoy the time, not the time” ... so just run at your own pace and enjoy it ... well done ... and if you’re knitting bobble hats ....

Happens to me all the time Imoca - runners, walkers, you name it they’ve passed me! Don’t feel humiliated- you’re doing exactly the same as the speedsters , you’re just doing it a bit slower! Crack on feeling like the goddess that you are! Happy running!

I’m thinking of a painting by Titian in the National Gallery of Diana and Actaeon. 😉
