Update - pride before a fall W8R3

[Janec1956]

I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ who took time yesterday/today to offer support, tips, inspiration and motivation to me after the husbands thoughtless comment. I am completely overwhelmed. I'm looking forward to W9R1 tomorrow (on my treadmill of course) and will complete my next three runs in my dining room 😊

Once I have graduated, I will get outside and, if needs be, I will start at W1R1 and take it from there. I will succeed come what may 😀

Again, thankyou all, you are all truly wonderful.

Onwards, upwards. Never give up 🏃‍♀️🏃

Glad to hear your looking forward to week 9 !If you do get outside after graduation , I doubt you would need to go back to week 1 .

Just go out for a slow no pressure jog and see what is comfortable

Enjoy your graduation first ! 😁

Thankyou 😊. You will all hear about my graduation, that's for sure, then the following week I'll get outside and give it a try. I have nothing to lose and everything to gain. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️

Good for you! Surely running is running is running!

You're nearly there! I don't think you need to go back to the start when you go outside. It is a different experience, but I started on a treadmill and moved outside around week 4. Got used to it quickly. It just feels slower at first but slow is good!

You won't need to start at W1R1 Will just be a matter getting used to it.

Another tip: give yourself a few weeks of consolidating by doing 3x 30 minutes on your treadmill, and then try going outside. and try running for 30 minutes,regardless of distance. In fact, forget distance - just concentrate on time on your feet.

Fantastic. When you have graduated be proud of yourself and enjoy your achievement.

When you feel like a venture outside just give it a go, at your own pace. It will be a run for your own enjoyment so no need to try and break records. Just enjoy the sights and smells and if you feel like a walk to catch your breath then do just that. Your run, your rules .... just enjoy.
