W8 R3... ✔

After the last one I wasn't going to push as hard and even contemplated an extra day of rest. But the rain had stopped and it looks like more rain tomorrow so off I went.

I usually run before meals so almost regretted my bowl of soup and too much olive bread 1.5 hrs before but just told myself it was fuel for the tank.

I did exactly the same route so I can def say the mileage was wrong on R2. It can't have been 4.49 miles, it was 3.9 same as today. Plus I recorded on 2 seperare apps to make sure I got something!

I think I've extended my stride a little with my new route. Less time spent going uphill and more time to stretch out and go with the flow. My running posture is better and I don't think I've banged my ankles together for a while. 👍😂

I put too many layers on for the weather but it felt cold sitting around doing nothing beforehand. New tip to self... move around a bit before testing the temp!

Really enjoying the 28 mins and looking forward to next week. Sarah has less to say these days and I do miss the half-time bell.

I think its not on the 28min runs. It was there in w7 but not now. Sarah does pop in and say that's halfway but I dunno... I liked the little bell! 😂😂

3 to go.👍 I'm looking forward to the 30 min runs, which is hard to believe given it doesn't seem that long ago I was worried about w5 r3! 😂🤣

Well done - you're flying towards the finishing line! Am a bit gutted to hear that the half time bell disappears in Week 8! 😀

I suppose we're being weaned off the constant support. I've definately noticed less input from Sarah this week and am expecting a bit less still next week. I do miss it a bit👎 but on the other hand I certainly can't deny how well it has worked! 👍😁
