Hey ya'll.. I am on week 8 day 2 of C25K. I am having a hard time running the entire 28 minutes nonstop. Like today, I ran 18 minutes and then took a 30 second break (I am doing this on the treadmill so I just hop off the belt), and then another break with 5 minutes left and then ANOTHER one right before it ended.

WHY?!?!?!


Is anyone else having this issue? I know it's all mental. Today I felt SO good during my run and I am sure I could have finished it, but I ultimately talked myself into stopping THREE TIMES!!!!!!!!! WHY~!!!!!!!!!!! Ugh. It's so frustrating. When I got home today I just kept thinking "what in the WORLD!" All I had to do was run 10 more minutes nonstop!

Anyone else had these issues? I'd love some feedback!

    Yeah, that's why I take my runs out of doors whenever possible. Boredom has a way of killing motivation.

    Consider slowing down your pace, you may be fatiguing yourself. A change of atmosphere may help too, try it outside.
