I was on fireee 🔥, couldn't believe how well I was doing so just went with it. Couldn't wait to tell yous how well I'd done! Then hit a wall and realised I'd been too eager. Last half was a real struggle. Can't believe I finished the 28min it was that hard. Slow n steady next time 😅 x

Oh so well done you, fire first then cold focussed determination to get it done. I still don't understand why the extra 3 minutes seem so hard, other runs which have the ramp up didn't seem to be so bad. But blinking well done you, Week 9 is in sight as is that nice shiny graduation badge with your name on it. Channel your inner Oldfloss next time and you'll do it happily. Good luck and happy running.

As the weeks move on, the runs get longer, so why not slow down relax and enjoy the simple act of, just running :)

Well done you... you will do this:)
