Feeling bad! :(

Post by Lau82 »

I ran w7r3 today and really struggled! Ended up onlyanaging about 15-20 mins! Just felt I could get enough breath in and just not right! Not been able to run for a week due to kids etc but just feel but gutted that I've gone backwards. :(

No need to feel bad, it's great that you have got so far through the program. Don't let this defeat you, either try it again or take a step back and move on forwards again.

Even missing just a week of running will sometimes set you back a bit. I was unable to run for two weeks as I had my wisdom teeth out. When the oral surgeon finally cleared me to run, I struggled to finish 30 minutes. Before the surgery, I was doing 40-45 minutes.

Don't beat yourself up! These things happen. All you can do is get out there and run!
