Hello Peeps ♥ ♥,
I feel very privileged to be part of this group!! I was a model that then discovered junk food and unhealthy snacks and really let it go!!
I am on my Week 3 Run 2 and I feel AWESOME 😊!! If anyone would have told me a few years ago that I will be running 🏃 for more than a minute I would have been like don't lie 🤥!!
Any tips and tricks for the week's commencing would be most welcome!!
Oh yeah does anyone know how to work the halfway bell 🛎 in the App?
Thank you ♥ ♥ xx
My only tips would be go slow and make sure you are hydrating! It seems daunting but trust the programme - it sets you up to do the long runs, I promise! The halfway bell should just ring half way through your run as far as I’m concerned, unless I’m thinking of the wrong thing 😂 good luck on the rest of your journey!
Awwwwwwww thank you so much ♥ x
I'm looking at Week 7 and I'm thinking how the flower 🌸 am I going to be able to do that 😂!!
In terms to hydrating 💦 do you hydrate during your in-between walks or at the end of the warm-up walk?
Do you have a light snack before you run 🏃 as I watched a video on YouTube 📺 that recommends this?
The halfway Bell genuinely doesn't work on my couch 🛋 to 5 🕔 k app x
Many many thanks for the reply xx
Hahaha yeah it does seem mental looking at it! I try and drink 8 glasses a day all the time as I find that helps but I usually try and have a glass of water and a banana or a few strawberries roughly 30 minutes before I head off - however some people don’t have anything and are fine so it’s completely up to you! Hmmm, have you downloaded the higher quality of audio of your trainer? Or switch trainer and see if it’s a glitch or something that’s all I would suggest as I have no clue why it would do that 😬
That's such an AWESOME tip x
Banana 🍌 is a really good energy ⚡ booster and I'm deffo going to have that half an hour before my run!!
I swear like for me the only liquid 💦 I used to have is Coca Cola 😂 so I'll deffo have my water 💦 now!!
I have downloaded the higher quality audio and I've got Laura as I think the lady is so sweet 🍬!!
What about yourself?
I might try Sarah Millican 😂
Everytime I'm on a run and I'm getting tired I listen to Jax Jones-Breathe 😂!! This always gets me to breathe!!
Even if it’s that you just up your water intake slightly and still have cola, you’ll find that it helps you significantly in your run to be less exhausted! I have Sanjeev and he’s pretty good - more of a comedic coach but I find he helps motivate me when I’m at my wits end! I’ve heard good things about Sarah actually so might be worth a shot!
Songs are the key to my running honestly, I got like 3 or 4 as soon as they come on I can’t give up whatsoever 😂
I'm trying to have the Anthony Joshua Lucozade 😂 makes me feel strong 💪 😂
I'm deffo going to start having more water 💦 I think that's such a cool 😎 idea!!
Sanjeev is hilarious 😂 he's so funny in Still Game!
Which are your fave tracks? I'm proper addicted to music 🎶 😂
When have you been at your wits end? I'm getting worried that it's going to be well hard at the end 😯 😂 x
Wits end is more like that last minute or two at the end of the run where you need that little push - don’t worry, it’s not hard I promise! If it makes you feel strong then mentally hopefully will make your runs stronger too! 😊
Favourite tracks are POWER - Kanye, Chelsea Dagger - The Fratellis and Hair - Little Mix!
Oh yeah I felt like that yesterday when I went for Week 3 Run 2!!
The last minute my brain 🧠 was like you can stop dude!! And just make up for it!! I thought 💭 nah man you carry on and dig deep and I did and I was so proud!!
It's just with this programme I've found that resilience that I never thought 💭 I had!! Which is AWESOME!!
Ohmydaiz!! Them are brilliant tracks!! Really like WOAH!!
When I'm running 🏃 it's more 90s dance 🕺 tunes or euphoric trance as I can step with the beat 🥁!!
I've been hooted a few times by ladies driving 🚘 past saying check you out 😂!!
Congratulations 🎊 though on not smoking 🚬 for over a month 👏 👏 👏 x
That is awesome!!
I think people end up surprising themselves doing this programme because I was incredibly unfit before - I would say I'm not unfit anymore, but I wouldn't be able to do 10K tomorrow you know what I mean which is 10x than it was before so I'll take it 😂
Yeah fair enough! I found a running playlist through Spotify which was based on BPM but I can imagine you can get some good songs with some of the 90's music!!
Thank you, it's been a journey but I don't regret stopping at all 
It's so true!! I would have never imagined I could run for 3 minutes on a trot!! That's just madness 😊!!
Awwwwwwww that's brill 😊 for improving your fitness and I hope that you continue to do so!!
I'm still unfit as I'm still getting bouldered 🌋 after my run so I've got a long way to go!!
Which playlist is this? That sounds well interesting I might give it a download!!
Sometimes I'm running and something like Livin la Vida Loca, Ace of Base or some proper throwback comes on and I'm proper bouncing 😂!!
Some of the 90s are so good and so much takes me back!! It's brill!!
Awwwwwwww really proud of you 😊 ♥!!
I've given up smoking 🚬 but I'm on the nicotine pouches!! They really do help me x
I don't hear the half way bell either so I calculated the time for half way (include intro time) and set up a timer on the clock app on my phone ⏱
Loving the Pic!! That's so cool 😎!!
That's an awesome idea!! I will deffo try that!! I have discovered new areas that I would have never discovered 😂 😂!!
What week are you on, sorry?
Very grateful for the tip, much appreciated x
Cheers! Week 5 R3 next! I also drink before and after runs and lots during each day and do not need a drink during a run. Good luck!🤞😆🤞
That's awesome!! I think I do need to drink 💦 much more than I need to as I don't drink at all 😂!!
How you found it? 😊
I deffo need a drink when Laura says have a drink or a light snack 😂!!
Then walk past numerous chippies 🍟 🍔 and think oh that's tempting and stop 🛑 myself 😂 😂!!
It's deffo a lifestyle change!!
Needed to pee much more now my water intake is up! I try to drink a big glass of water before I have a cup of tea each time! It gets easier as long as you keep at a slow pace which is right for you. I had to repeat some runs until I felt comfortable moving on to the next one!
That's a good idea as I love 😍 my tea 🍵 😂!!
😂 😂 😂 😂 That means I'm deffo not drinking enough 💦 😂!!
A slow pace deffo does help as I would deffo be defeated if I ran 🏃 and gave up after 25 seconds!!
That's a top tip as that makes you more confident in going onto the next one ♥!!
I genuinely thought 💭 that you have to carry on with the programme and not repeat 🔂 anything!!
That's really brill, thank you so much ♥
Curly's turn on the injury couch
Turns out I'm lopsided
A corner has been turned!
Very nervous that it would turn out to be a fluke.
