Im undecided if to go out today, hoping the heat of a hwb will take the edge off my ankle. If it does i may go out for a short walk (providing it doesnt heavily rain). | |||

"I had a disastrous run yesterday and barely managed 2k, I just couldn’t get motivated so I’m going to try again tonight. " I think mental state is quite a significant part of this, perhaps because I’m crap and find it difficult. Do you need any motivational work from our crack team? We’re here to support you all the way  | |||

We’re here to support you all the way "No idea why it was so hard yesterday, I could have cried with frustration. I’m advertising for another fitness buddy, the one that was helping can’t do it anymore and I found our once a week runs were an excellent motivator as there was no way I was not going to show improvement in front of him. I’ll be back later to ask to get shouted at to go and bloody do it. | |||

"Once I'm out I'm ok at running but its the getting out

My legs were like lead but a couple of days off and ginal run either mon or tue"I know exactly how you feel! Once you start the warm up you start getting motivated to do it, but before then.... Meh! I'm due to run tomorrow, week 4 run 3, but after doing my run yesterday, my calf muscles are still very tight and I'm worried I might do myself some mischief. So I've put my sensible hat on and will either go for a walk or bike ride tomorrow | |||

"W2 R1 done Went ok can’t say I’m enjoying it that much yet " Well done! I can't say I've ever looked forward to the next run, maybe one day... 
Went for a bike ride today, did 10 miles, feels like that has eased my tight calf muscles so plan to run again tomorrow at silly o'clock  | |||

"Can someone turn me out of my armchair please? My motivation is all but gone. It’s freaking cold, I don’t want to do it and I don’t want to do it. On a side note, my feet always end up numb when it’s this cold, any recommendations for thermal socks?" OK I will come and lift you out of your chair.... Get up woman!
You can do it
I hate the feeling of warm, sweaty feet so I'm no help for your mention of thermel socks. | |||

They are warm at the start and numb within 15 minutes of getting out the door. My poor heart and lungs obviously think I’m actually dying and divert blood to essential organs. | |||

"Is it too late to join in? Needing to do the couch to 5k (again). Desperately need motivating (bullying)." No! Never too late. Some on the thread haven’t started or had to restart. Some have stayed at a certain point and some are held back through injury. Some (like me) are in the verge of giving up. I lie, I’m the only one that would love to give up, the rest are awesome. | |||

"Strava can suck my hairy cock. I fucking aced it tonight and Strava, despite me doing all the things with the app that they recommend, fucked it up big time. I'm going to have to guess my time and manually plot my route, I'll be back with the results..." Strava uses wierd algorithms.

No money for all that, I'm running in leggings I got from a charity shop! I've plotted it as best I can and I think it was 3.5k in around 20-23 mins with one less than 20 second stop. I think about 20% was up a long hill. So for me, that was the longest I've run without stopping, no stopping on an incline and parts of it weren't as hard as I found previously. Fridays run wasn't worth getting sweaty for, my motivation was shit but I've restored faith in myself. | |||

I have done the laces up too tight before and got tingly feet! I will watch out for that though. | |||

How do you get your arse out of the house when you REALLY, REALLY don't want to go? " That’s down to motivation and your reason for running. You have to have a reason for doing something and you have to dig deep and clinch that focus. Once your out you’re out so you may as well run! | |||
