W5r3 - motivation

[Laurzmum]

I’ve been going tho this programme and doing well but I now have Got to this run. I did some strength training at the gym today for the first time then tried this run but bailed after10 mins. I not sure I can do it !! Should I go back ? Built up slowly? Feel like I’ve lost my belief!

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Why would you do strength training before a run?!

No wonder you couldn’t do it!

[Andyeliot Graduate]

I think that maybe your mind got the better of you and you thought you couldn’t do it and so you couldn’t l usually run and gym on alternate days I’m sure you will be fine just chalk it up to experience

[Laurzmum Graduate in reply to Andyeliot]

Thank you - I’ll try that approach

[Ladyvickster Graduate]

Do it again but be well rested and go slower! If I can do it, you can!!

[Kimbov Graduate]

You can do this, it’s definitely mind over matter. Do you have music playing, I love my Spotify and try to zone in on the music. Xx

[Tasha99 Graduate]

I’m not criticising but obviously your muscles have already been worked so running will be harder. Strength train on running rest days.

[Laurzmum Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Thanks. It’s alk new to me and I’m maybe just being too ambitious

No gym workouts on a running day is one of my mantras. When you next do the run relax and do it slowly. At the end of it you will feel the endorphin rush! 😀

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Just try this run again go slow as possible you've done all the practice for it you can do this good luck 😊
