Hello my wonderful running friends, I've just finished run 2 week 9, I found it much easier than run 1, I actually had it in mind to go slower than run 1, I genuinely thought it was slow and steady but looking at my stats it looks a similar pace. I am really trying to go slower. Ah well one run to go, unfortunately it will have to wait until Monday.

Pleased you found the run a bit easier Martin, keep in mind to gently start the run and the rest should all feel more comfortable.

One more to Graduation 😊x

Starting next week with a graduation what a boost!

Well done you... :)

Running backwards would slow you down more... and yes, before you ask..I have had a go :)

Onward and upward Martin.. you are doing just fine :)

Your average pace, which includes your warm up and cool down, is highly respectable, young man. That's the 5k in 30 minutes well covered.

Well done.
