Week 8 run 3

I can't believe it was week 5 I think when I last posted. We're still going strong and have the last run for week 8 to do today. Then the final week next week! I am planning on running a 5k with my husband a week on Sunday.

I've struggled but managed it. The method really does work so far at least. The last 7 minutes of the 28 are hard, the last 3 are a killer, but I'm learning how to push through and haven't had to stop yet, though I've been close.

Right, best get going.

Well done ! It's great that you also have a running mate. What is it they say "Behind every good man there's a woman" . Or is it in your case "Behind every good woman there's a man eating my dust" ??

Haha there's actually a few of us now - we go as a group but all have our own paces. Today was good, I got my fastest kph and fastest sprint finish (which I like to do). I'm not aiming for speed, just monitoring it to see how long 5k would take me.
