W8R1 on a full bladder💦

[CI578]

This run felt good, weather mild no wind. I thought you can do this and I did. However halfway through I got a stitch but I ran that off like a 1970s footballer would run a broken leg off😉then last 5 minutes my bladder started😭. But when I heard that's it well done slow down I was pleasently surprised as it felt smooth compared to other runs.

Brilliant running @C1578 week 9 is in sight 👍👍👀🥳

[CI578 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yep I feel as if I'm on the final lap now 😁

Have you/are you enjoying your C25k journey so far?

[CI578 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes but it ain't been easy, Im not a sporty person plus I will be 50 this year,so for me this is an achievement as I hate running in public 😣

[Hidden in reply to CI578]

You know @C1578 that dislike of public running is so common on here with runners of all genders 👀🙈 ok so briefly I started and used to take myself away down the towpath, and run incognito 😎 hardly seeing a soul, but about week 6 I think I started moving closer to home, and now I don't give a hoot, neither should you, the runner blends in fairly discreetly 🥳 btw last time I looked I was a smidgeon older than yourself, so yep you're a youngster 😝.

And as for being non sporty you've just ran however fast or slow for 28minutes 👍👍

Thanks for your support much needed 👍

Go to the loo before you go. It is a common problem, mainly due to forgetfulness!I like to do a warm up with some torso twists and touching toes etc - this helps out any other loo issues....

Cheers 👍

[Rennur Graduate in reply to CI578]

BTW. Well done on your run. You've got this. Not long now. Then the fun really starts post graduation.

Or drinking coffee before you go out

A smooth run, you’ve just run for 28 minutes, what an amazing achievement that is, week 9 runs are only 2 minutes longer, so you’ve got this now, all the way to graduation day.

Milder weather helps too, plus you’re just as tough as a 1970’s footballer if not tougher 😂. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻👍🏃‍♀️

Cheers mate 🍻

[Karen59er Graduate]

well done! keep it up - you are so nearly there - half the battle is getting your head around all the obstacles that your mind puts in the way of your body, You're doing fantastically and you will feel even younger than you already are!

[CI578 Graduate in reply to Karen59er]

This made me laugh CI578 ...before I set off, even if I don’t need to, I go for a wee and squeeze every last little drop out otherwise God knows what could happen 🤣🤣

[CI578 Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

I know what you mean 😅
