Just completed wk 8

Have to admit it was pretty hard going today and this wasn't helped by the very warm afternoon. Absolutely delighted to get this far as 8 wks ago running for 1 min was very tough. Looking forward to Sunday and starting wk 9 and hopefully graduating by the end of the wk.

Excellent achievement so far and I'm sure better to come when you complete w9 in the coming days. Good luck and let us know when you've graduated so we can share in the celebrations ;)

I must admit the weather has been a bit too warm for running - except for those hardy people who get up at a silly hour of the morning! I managed a run at 8.30 this morning but even then it was getting too hot to run comfortably. So, extra well done for finishing week 8 - it must have been harder because of the heat. Good luck with your first run of week 9 on Sunday - just three runs now to graduation. Best wishes.

It was hot today wasn't it ? I went out at lunchtime and cooked ! Very well done to get this far and look forward to hearing of your graduation this time next week.

Well done you. Enjoy the graduation week. I find it's been 'hard going' for part or all of every run, even week 1, but always the same level of hardness, it doesn't actually get worse despite doing more and more. That's what getting fit's about!! (Sound of penny dropping. ) Happy running and well done again

Well done!

I am at the same stage as you, just finished week 8 yesterday.

I run early in the morning, in Northumberland, so heat not a major problem.

I will be thinking of you over the next week whilst we complete our week 9 runs!
