Week 8 Run 1

Enjoyed the run today, good time and got the 5k within the 28 min !! Think will space it out a bit, more than one day in between these longer runs works for me👍 Looking forward now to reach the goal for 30 min. Starting to reflect to those early runs and getting better as the weeks went on. Thanks all for the support 👍👍xx

Since I started Week 7, I have been taking 2 rest days between runs and I feel much better for it.

Well done on today's run 😊😊

Hi Mikemelly ....when I got to the longer runs, I found an extra rest day certainly helped, I just found it hard to resist the fluttering eyelash treatment my trainers gave me!!! That’s a fantastic time too...don’t over do it though, take it nice & steady then you’ll be ready for week 9 😉

Good idea, the extra day helps at this stage, keeps the legs fresh....

You do what you need to do.. don't push... just get to the 30 minute runs comfortably!

Not what you're looking for?
