Cracked Wk8 this evening. Even pushed a little further and managed the 5K in 32mins. I can’t believe how this amazing program has got this fad lad running and enjoying it (sort of). Keep up the good work everyone. Bring on week 9 👍😁

Well done and wow that is a quick pace, I am rightly getting told off for going to quick (5.1k in 35 mins today for Week 8 Run 2) so please don't push to hard and get an injury.

Thank you and point taken, just fancied pushing it a bit tonight. Well done yourself as well. Looking forward to a run in daylight on Sunday.

It’s been great. But I don’t like the runs in the dark. Hopefully come the spring I’ll still be addicted. Good luck on Sunday and i look forward to your victory post 👍

Don't push.. that is the fastest way to the IC!

As Chris says, don't push too hard. It's very easy to want to, believe me, I know! Guilty as charged, I did Wk8Run3 last night and managed 5.3k in 35 minutes. But we've both been reminded on here that it's a risk to push ourselves to much too soon. I'm so grateful for the advice though, or I could easily end up on the IC!

Hoping that included your warm up walk and cool down... well done... slow and steady to that podium :)
