I've just completed the same run and found it really hard, but I did it. Hope you got on ok, I got some pins and needles wondering if I need a better pair of trainers now it's getting serious!

Yes I find no run is the same, but good on us we are nearly there 😁

you have probably done it by now. If not go slow but keep running. If you can still breath and nothing has fallen off keep going. Its a mental struggle now at least as much as a physical one.
