My longest run so far

7 Replies

I have just run 8k! It took me 54 minutes and I wasn't sure that I could do it but I wanted to try. It actually felt easier in the second half of the run. I do the NRC guided runs and I really feel that the talk, wisdom and encouragement is what helps me.

No records broken this morning other than it being my longest run. :)

What a fab pace, congrats on that! I just did my first 8km last week and found the same thing with the second half going easier than the first 🙂
