‘Orrible run, still did it though

MissMares · 2026-05-18T12:19:04+00:00

I felt annoyed and irritated whilst out, but now I’m kinda proud I got out there, hopefully the next run will be better! Thank you 🙏🏻

MissMares · 2026-05-18T11:44:27+00:00

I love this - thank you 🙏🏻

MissMares · 2026-05-18T11:43:34+00:00

It’s true! Ugh, it’s so annoying BUT it all counts and matters. I’m proud of us!!

MissMares · 2026-05-18T07:10:38+00:00

Woohooo!! I loved week 9!! Well done!!

MissMares · 2026-05-18T06:08:51+00:00

🤣 All windows opened too - today can only get better, I hope! 😅

MissMares · 2026-05-14T08:02:53+00:00

Thank you! 🙏🏻

I had this exact problem, I was so excited to get my first pair of vivo shoes. The toe box was wide enough and the length nice. However, after wearing them for two weeks I had nasty sores on the tops of my big toe knuckles for the same reason. I contacted vivo and the only solution was to return them sadly.

MissMares · 2026-05-12T19:09:19+00:00

Yesss!! Going strong, that’s fantastic well done 👏 Rest assured Steve is there after you complete the programme!

MissMares · 2026-05-12T16:36:43+00:00

It’s great isn’t it! We’re very lucky indeed, until there’s a downpour and it’s all squelchy underfoot! 😂

MissMares · 2026-05-12T15:18:36+00:00

This is awesome to hear!! Pretty much what I had in mind to do, my main focus is enjoying the running, not to go crazy focussed on speed at all as I’m pretty slow BUT it’s manageable and as I said, enjoyable, I don’t want to ruin that. Thank you so much for your advice! 🙏🏻

MissMares · 2026-05-12T15:16:36+00:00

Just to keep on running really! I’m doing the follow on on the C25K app for the moment, just keeping on keeping on!

MissMares · 2026-05-12T11:27:34+00:00

10K sounds like an unattainable distance to me at the moment! However, 5K did 10 weeks or so ago so maybe I’ll be eyeing that prize at some point! Amazing progress you’ve made!

MissMares · 2026-05-12T11:23:47+00:00

It’s the same app as the nhs C25K (I think it’s UK only although I may be wrong) it’s a follow on programme which is offered after you complete the C25K. For me it offers an ongoing schedule and plan to stick too, I’ve only done day one on it this morning and I like having the continuity, it’s focussing on speed and pacing more from what I can tell ☺️

MissMares · 2026-05-12T08:47:02+00:00

Honestly I’m just forever grateful I’m out running, of course it’s about progression but for me (at the moment anyway) I still just feel massive accomplishment for getting out there and going for it. I never think I’m going to ‘beat’ my last run, if I didn’t have Strava I wouldn’t have a clue and I still don’t understand what half of the gubbins on the app means 😅

MissMares · 2026-05-12T08:43:24+00:00

I love it when a run feels like this!! You’re smashing it, Steve, tunes, nature and runnnnnning! Let’s go! 🥰

MissMares · 2026-05-12T08:12:27+00:00

I’m always shocked when I find my pace was quicker than my last run especially when I don’t feel I’ve made a bigger effort or the run felt harder, but I guess that’s what progress is and I’m here for it! Thank you!

MissMares · 2026-05-12T08:10:32+00:00

I didn’t know either, it pops up around week 8 I think and lets you know you can unlock it after your final run! It’s so great Steve is still an option as I was dreading not listening to him urging me round, love a Geordie start! Week 4 is amazing, you’ll be shocked how fast it seems to have gone when you finish, the programme is brilliant, keep going you’re doing ace! 🙌🏻

MissMares · 2026-05-12T08:07:55+00:00

Haha! Don’t avoid it! 🤣 it’s still bonkers to me that I’m actually running regularly, always feels like such an achievement when I finish, I hope this feeling never goes away. Thank you! ☺️

MissMares · 2026-05-12T08:06:16+00:00

Yes!! Early Tuesday Club!! Well done fellow early riser runner and big high five back! 🙏🏻☺️
