Week 5 Run 2

So just completed this on my last full day out here in Holland (why am I running while on holiday? Am I slightly unhinged?) and it went really well. The first 8 minute run was fine, I had a bit of apprehension heading in to the second 8 minute run whether I'd be able to get through it but got through absolutely fine πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ˜€ Next up is the 20 minute run, I'll be back in sunny Runcorn for that one, those steps heading out of the park are getting me a bit anxious already πŸ˜‚

Great stuff. Well done to you. Looks like a nice route. I am at the same stage and did the same run this morning. I was astounded when I realised that each running segment of 8 mins today was the total running content of week 1 run 1.......and we just did that twice..... in the same run!! Awesome πŸ‘

The route is really nice, it's along a cycle way so I need to keep my wits about me more than my route back home but it's still better than running along roads in my view 😊

Congrats on your run too! Yes, amazing to think how much running is happening now compared to week 1!

Lovely tourist run....

Not what you're looking for?
