Run 1 completed tonight, went pretty well too, I planned my route so the first of the 5 min runs was on a slight downhill stretch, although the second was all uphill. Extended the warm up and warm down to get extra steps in on my fitbit too.

Crikey Andy that was a big workout! 4.6miles, well done but don't overdo it buddy.

Did you run for an hour 15 Andy? I'm sure Laura only expects 40 mins max including warm up and down.

Fantastic run, you must be fit to take on hills too! Expect you will soon be wearing your graduation badge. Be careful not to overdo it though. :)

I did the session during a longer walk, quite often do that. Had walked about 15 minutes before starting the session and was a mile from home at the end of the session.

Run 2 this morning went well, the big 20 minute run next. Gulp!
