Restarted Couch to 5K and up to week 6

Hi team, I fell off the running wagon again and and finally got back on again after hubby dragged me to Parkrun. It was embarrassing- truely. So I started back again and this week I finished week 6 run Run 1. I am reminded of when I was trying to stop smoking, you have to get back at it when you fail. The more you do it, the more you change a habit. This group was always in the back of my mind and I am so proud to be able to post this.

Well done LucieL. At least you won’t be experiencing the nippy weather which has put in an appearance up here. I saw the last three weeks on C25k as a bit of a procession; like the last stage of Tour de France. All you need to do is not push the speed and manage to stay upright! Then the real fun starts 🙂

My story is exactly the same and I’m also back up to week 6 - about to go out for run 3. I didn’t know if you’re the same but I’m finding it easier this time. I think it’s because I know the system works. I always used to say to newbies that if they started a run worrying about a run they were setting up to fail. Good luck - I’ll meet you at our (re)graduation. 😆
