Week 8, Run 1 - favourite run to date!

9 Replies

Really, really loved my run this morning. It's such an amazing feeling to see the progression over the weeks!

I started my Runkeeper and I surprised myself by managing 4.28km in the 28 minutes! I know it's not about the distance but I was so chuffed with that! :D

Got the Race for Life coming up next month and it feels so good to be working towards the 5km :)

This programme is sooooooooooo amazing! I absolutely love it!

Hope you're all having a lovely week - and happy running :) xx

Just great when a run all comes together isn't it. Looks like you are not far off hitting that 5K in 30 mins either.

Good luck with those last few runs.

Amazing, spiky. Sounds like a great run and 4.28km in 28 minutes! That's good going and looking like you'll reach the goal of 5k in 30 minutes. Well done.
