Week 9 r2 done

[mum_of_3]

OMG! One more to go, eeeek!

Have to say though, although I'm completing all of the runs, these last 2 have been really tough... and less enjoyable. I think it's because Laura tells me every 5 minutes, and that's depressing when you've only done 10!!

Still, one more, can't believe it!

You're almost there mum_of_3! I know what you mean, I enjoyed having Laura coach me through but when you think you are running out of steam and she tells you "only 5 minutes to go" it's a killer. However I do miss her now she isn't there!

Good luck with your graduation run, I'm sure you will smash it!!

Sympathies, I felt exactly the same about Laura's constant time checks on w9, but you'll miss her when she's not running with her after graduation

Very very best of luck for your graduation run

You're right, I really will... I worry that I'll give up earlier without her popping up in my ears...

Why not ditch the podcast for the final run? I found the constant time checks counter productive, and the same for music as most songs are roughly 3-4mins long so I was always struggling with how far I still had to go, rather than how far I'd actually gone! I even tried running with opera/classical tracks as they tend to be longer and irregular but found that I really do prefer to run 'naked'.

Whatever you do, well done and best of luck!

I think that may be a great idea, but I think I still need some sort of beat as I count in my head incessantly when I run (weird, but it keeps me focused on something other than being tired I suppose).

Thanks for the tip
