Week 8 Run 1

Off to the gym to try to get Run 1 of Week 8 under my belt. Despite knowing I can run for 25 minutes I’m getting nervous about those 3 extra ones and not feeling completely confident that I’ll manage it tonight! Need some gremlin fighting luck 😬

Just completed run 1 of week 8 on the treadmill. Did find those last three mins hard work! Mind over matter I guess. Amazing how long three minutes can be !!!

I’m doing it on the app and usually Sarah pipes up with a minute out to end warning, so when she didn’t I panicked as I thought I’d miscalculated! I found the hardest minutes in the first 14, as after that I was spurred on thinking how a minute used to be hard.

Well done on W8 Run 1 to you!! 👊🏻🎉

Keep focussed, as it’s a bit boring, ignore the extra sweat and dream of better weather in time for your graduation!💥

Thank you! 🙏🏻 Cracked open a French drama on Netflix to distract me from the sweat and loud teenagers - definitely planning some outdoor runs in the next week ☀️
