Just done week 9 run1. I don't know what was worse the heat, heavy breathing or the sweat getting in my eyes.! Found I kept an even pace all through the run for the first time. Did a 30 min. walking program on the treadmill Sunday and Monday and I think this helped. Now for a well earned shower.๐Ÿ’๐Ÿšฟ

Well done Monkey25 - I think most of us know all about eye sweat and heavy breathing- even pace is the key - so close to your shiny badge now :)

Well done Monkey ! Fab stuff !

Oh yes, sweat in your eyes stings like a divvil doesn't it ? Ive tried wearing a cap , and it does help , but then your head feels like its on fire :-)

Well done, almost there. Not a fan of sweat- think it's my age! You could always get a sweatband like the tennis pros?
