Not been here for a while

[Running_at50]

Hello lovely people, as the title suggests I haven't been on here for a while. I re started c25k and got to week 8 and ran a constant 28 minutes, was very pleased with myself. Did a parkrun end of March and was very disappointed with myself taking nearly 45 minutes to complete 😔 slowest I've ever done it.Anyhow I decided to give the walk/run method a go and it was a game changer! I did 30 seconds run, 30 seconds walk and my time improved no end! For those 30 seconds I could put in more effort as I knew I would walk shortly ( all in the mind see!) So this is my journey to date, will keep at it although I still struggle mentally to get out there sometimes. Got myself a new running t shirt (see pictures) sums me up about right!

Happy running everyone 🏃‍♀️☺️

I need one of those t shirts in my life!! Run/walk is a great technique. I’ve been experimenting and was amazed to find I wasn’t slower than all run. I wonder if Couch to 5k makes us think that the best way for everyone to run is a 30 minute continuous run when there are loads of other valid options. You’re doing so well! ❤️🏃‍♀️💪
