I must be improving as Map My Run says I managed an average pace of 4 minutes per mile on my 25 minute run this morning. Apparently I also swam across the lake at just under 18 miles an hour before hurdling over my neighbours' garden walls.

For those of you starting out, this programme is amazing!

Week 8 next week and I'll be training with the Brownlee brothers...

..... oh and I haven't trained with them yet....... but I did get my gait measured and fitted for my Brooks by the lad who pace trains with them for their runs :-)
