Week 8

[Titch121]

Should be on week 7 run 3 but forgot I had only done 2 week 7's so did week 8 by mistake and I ran for an entire 28 mins and covered 4.14k. I'm laying on settee grinning like a Cheshire Cat now.

How brilliant is that!!!

Oopsies, well done you!!! Very close to that 30 minutes and graduation now.

[Titch121]

I'll look on this as week 7 with a few extra mins so will still do my 3 week 8s but at least i know that 28 mins is doable and if that's doable then 30 mins must be doable as that's only 2 extra mins and that I can easily break down into two lots of 60 seconds.

Well done - you've a right to be feeling smug!

[SillyLilly Graduate]

Congratulations on a great run! I have my week 8 run 1 tomorrow. If I hit your distance I would be thrilled but I'm far from it at this time.lol Keep up the great work.

Good luck with it SillyLilly

Let me know how you get on

Good Morning Titch! My wk 8 run 1 is complete. The temperature was 58degrees so it was nice and cool. I didn't fully warm up until about half way into the run but felt pretty strong. I struggled with my breathing a bit, probably due to the cold weather. There were a couple of walkers out ahead of me and I was determined to pass them and I did.lol I looked back when i reached the end of the street and they were way back behind me. I was proud of myself. I'm still terribly slow. I approximated my distance and I only covered around 2miles in the 28minutes. Lots of room for improvement.haha

Wahoo well done SillyLilly . You ran for a whole 28 minutes that is such a big achievement. The distance covered is irrelevant - keeping going is what counts and you certainly kept going. Very very well done.

[Hidden in reply to SillyLilly]

I'm in the same boat. I can do the time but the distance is a way off 5k 😂

[Titch121 in reply to Hidden]

I know what you mean I cant see 5k in 30 mins ever being achievable. I use map my walk and it shows my times as 7.30 a km at best but averaging nearer 8 mins. To do the 5k in 30 mins means each km needs to be 6 mins. I cant see how thats possible.

[NeverSayNoToJeffing Graduate]

Well done - I am seriously impressed!

[boptillyoudrop49 Graduate]

Look how fit you've become! Great

[McFitty Graduate]

Do you remember saying "every second of week 3 run 1 was agony"? Look at you now... 28 minutes! That graduate badge is SO close. Well done. How amazing do you feel and 4.14k is brilliant

[Hidden]

Oops!! Oh well you have done it now Titch121 and as you have said graduating is definitely doable.

Look how far you have come

[Titch121]

Thanks everyone. I'm still smiling this morning - calves ached a little when I got up this morning but I'm sure they will loosen up at work during the day. Can't wait to officially start week 8 to add to my unofficial week 8 run

[Sofargoner Graduate]

Inspirational titch!

[SlowWorm2016 Graduate]

Fantastic! Good luck with the rest of week 8. You'll be a graduate in no time

Well done for running 28 minutes that's amazing and what a great distance, you are nearly there now. Keep going
