I failed!!!

Ran 5 mins

Couldn't continue after 3 min walk

Went home

So disappointed

[SBG356 Graduate]

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! The "F" word is not allowed here!!!

It was a blip thats all Souki! Yes it is disappointing when this happens for no apparent reason but I bet if you try again tomorrow you will be fine. Give it a go and dont beat yourself up over it. We have all been there but have bounced back and carried on; you will too!

Thankyou, but I have missed my slot as so to speak, lots of little ones at home tomorrow, maybe a night run!! I ont give up x

[greenlegs Graduate]

Same as Sue. Yes, it's tough, but it's just a bad run. It's not failing - failing is not going out of the door to try.

Week 6 run 1 is very hard for loads of people, probably because of the intervals - try clicking on the 'tags' (on the green bar) and you'll see you're not alone in finding it tough. The first five minutes of longer runs is always pretty much the hardest bit, so it's probably just about the hardest time to stop and start again.

Try making sure you're on a downhill bit, and going good and slow. But most of all, be kind to yourself. You've run 20 minutes, and you will again. You will bounce back. Believe us!

Yes I can't believe I ran 20 mins last Saturday and today.... Well couldn't do the second part (8) did have a look through w6 tags thanks, i wonder why this is such a sticker??

Pick yourself up, dust yourself off and start all over again! Week 6 is tough but neccessary.

Good luck, you can do it Delia

[Souki Graduate in reply to DeliaItaly]

Thanx ill do just that ??

[petal51 Graduate]

I really feel for you. It is hard, but you are doing great. Just get out there and have another go. Please!

Hey Souki. Further to my last comment! I've just looked where you live on the directory page and see that it's Chesham! Well, I lived in Chesham many years ago, so can picture where you may do your running??! And is that a picture of a Vizsla? Our dog is a vizsla - aren't they great!

[Souki Graduate]

Hi petal, yes Souki Sue is a vizsla and she's my running partner, I also have a Weimaraner but she's an old lady now and doesn't get off the sofa much. My goal is to join the asheridge canicrossers, a group of 'runners' who run with their dogs, but if this week is anything to go by it'll be a long journey.

I tend to run around the 'pednor loop' top or bottom as its flatter, but yesterday I went off route towards Hyde Heath and hit a hill, think that's what did me in!!
