W8 r3 - done!

[newrunner56]

Hooray - but i'm only doing 2.5 miles - how will I do .5 mile in 2 mins ???

Any suggestions for motivating myself not to crawl between 14 mins and 23 mins.... once I hear Laura say only five mins more, I find I increase speed.... and for that last minute, well, I surprise myself!

Hi! I would say don't worry about your distance covered yet; get week 9 done, then maybe try the c25k+ podacasts; Stepping Stones and Stamina both have you running to a set beat for the 30/35 minutes; and Speed is a quick interval training session. They have certainly helped me!

Good luck with week 9 and after!

Thank you Poppy, that extra half mile is a bit worrying... I've entered a Race for Life... and don't want to be reaching the end with the walkers!!!

But I am really enjoying the running, which I never thought possible.
