To my utter amazement I ran continuously for 7k today. I did nearly 6k in 50 minutes a week ago and hadn’t run for a month before that! I’m so chuffed! 🤩 Legs felt like wobbly tree trunks at the end.

Please let me know how I get my 60 minute badge.

Here is the evidence:

Congratulations on running through the hour barrier. Celebrate your latest achievement with pride. Slow is the way to go when extending your runs, don’t give pace a second thought.

Thank you so much for all your lovely comments. So good to hear the encouragement of others in order for my stamina to not listen to my internal lies of tiredness and defeat. I have learned that achievement comes from training, determination and self-belief. I can do it... I will do it.

No!! I only started at the end of March at the beginning of lockdown, and couldn’t even run the first C25k 8 x 1.5 minute runs! What a buzz!!!!!
