Pro tips:
>Listen to books while you run.>You can also listen to comfy relaxing music, no need to listen to boring techno - the goal is to enjoy running, not forcing yourself to do something you hate - instead of having the music fit your foot pace, have it fit your breathing.>It's totally ok to run and walk intermittently - you will find that after you progress you will automatically be doing more running and less walking. Don't stress about having to run the whole length.>Stop believing in motivation - it doesn't work like you've been taught - You can feel motivated when you think of doing something but then the next time you're supposed to do the thing you'll find that the motivation is nowhere to be found, so counting on motivation is futile bullshit.>Outsource the decision to run to the program - if the program says run, then you run.>It will always suck to get out and start a run. No way around it. That's a complete normal reaction. It will trigger all your flight or fight responses.>Good news is: after you've run the first 0.5-1.5 km the motivation will kick in, like muscle memory. You'll be motivated to complete your days goal and more importantly enjoy being outside feeling and thinking things.>Run on your toes. You'll have sexy ankles in no time.>Check out feldenkrais to learn proper running form.>Don't run further than the program says. This is designed to build up your muscles and ligaments to gradually handle more. If you exceed you _will_ get injured. No way around it.Good luck fren.
