Beach didn’t happen!

Ok guys so a quick update on my week working away. Beach was very slanted and property was located on a hill so no chance of an outdoor run, although as you will see, not a bad view from the treadmill !!

So today completed week 8. Pace and run felt great and as I shared with a few of you already, I felt disappointed that after 28 mins run the machine showed me only 3.8km. How the heck will I achieve 5 k by the end of next week I wondered !!! So now I learned from others on here it’s ok what I am doing and hey at least I stayed committed to the programme !! So wash away the disappointment and get ready for a park run on Sunday my first run of Week 9! Wow I honestly didn’t think I would get this far !! Thanks for all your support ! 💪💪🏃🏼

You don't have to achieve 5K, you only have to be able to run continuously for 30 minutes. The name is a misnomer, actually most people don't achieve the 5K in 30 mins by the end of the course. 8-)

Not what you're looking for?
