...70 this month...going slow but sure. Anyone else noticed that the charming lady coach on the podcast graduated from NHS school of sadism? Today, week 8 run 1, allegedly 28 mins run, she still hadn't told me to stop at 30 mins!! Not grumbling, just observing.

Ha. Never noticed that, but Laura is a sadist for sure. There were many runs where I cursed her name under my breath, shortly followed by praise and adoration once I completed the run. Well done on your 30 minutes.

Laura does sometimes say things like "I don't want you to exhaust yourself... yet" that make me wonder ;)

It's the " if you still feel OK maybe you could run faster next time" when I am gasping for breath.
