W5R3 completed

It was raining this morning so I almost didnt go out but then i thought, whats the worst that can happen? If this one wont work out, i can always repeat the run, so i gave it a go. It feels a bit daunting when the coach tells you at the beginning that you will run for 20min as straight away i started to question that and took me a while to get in the rhytm. Then when I heard Jo's voice telling me that i did well as ive completed my first 5min, i felt really good about it as thought that i had only another 5min to run, easily distracted! 😂 Halfway in the run ive realised that actually there wont be any breaks this time and that hit me like a ton of bricks! Ive switched my route on my way back and that helped as i was looking at new surroundings and stopped thinking how much longer there was to go! I sweated so much at the end but managed to complete it with a stupid grin on my face! Few weeks ago, i was barely able to run 90sec and today ive managed my first 20min run!! Woohooo!!

Thank you IannodaTruffe😁, you are absolutely right! The more confidence i have in running the less im concerned about running faster but im still catching myself on speeding on some bits knowing full well that this wont help me finish the run but might get me out of breath before finishing. I need to keep reminding myself that its ok to run slow so appreciate you and others repeating this to all rookie runners like me!👍😊 looking forward to the next run regardless how slow it will be😅
