So this morning I went for my 'run' I stupidly looked at the forth coming weeks the other day and nearly poo'd myself.
3 runs of 25 mins non-stop running. I thought I can do this I did one of these on Wed it will be fine you managed that
All was going well until I hit the last 5 mins, I stopped and walked about 10 meters, then started running again....
When Jo (I have Jo) said you have a min left I thought yes mate, as soon as she stopped talking I stopped running so finished 30s earlier than I should have
Now feel disappointed with myself for 'stopping', yet at the time I tried to tell myself it was ok and my body was not hurting why do I need to stop, but the little voice in my head won

Why do you need to stop? Because it’s bloody difficult.
Don’t beat yourself up, you’re doing something that’s very hard. Give yourself a chance to do it the day after tomorrow.

Thank you will try and remember its hard , I assume everyone else has done it so it must be easy... |

It’s ok to stop.
Most runners stop on runs. I’m up to 10k from being a C25k runner a few years ago. I still stop, stretch, catch my breath and carry on.
Why is stopping such a taboo thing? Ask most runners and they don’t know why new runners get so worried about it. Ultrarunners will tell you they walk up hills, they stop and then they run on. Only people running races and those wanting a PB will try not to stop.
So you stopped, but you ran a considerable distance prior to stopping. If you’d stopped on the sofa and not run, that’s a worry  |
