Hello all

I managed to do it today, but my pace really slowed down, terrible cramp after 8 mins, so had to stop. I left it 30 mins, had a glass of tonic water and tried again.

This time managed both 10 minute runs and the cramp was a lot less, funny thing is week 5 /run 3 seemed easier and that was 20 mins non stop, ah well onwards and upwards.

I thought that run was awful as well. Think i posted about it ! For some reason the 2 x 10 mins was worse than the 20 minute run !! Stick with it. today I just did Week 8 run 2 (28 min run).
