Finally did the run this morning after running out of time or opportunity yesterday! Walking to the Riverside took 10 minutes do a longer warm up. First eight was ok after walking a while my way back had a fairly steep incline and I knew Laura would be saying it's time and I wasn't ready. Might be a crime but I paused her till I got to the top. First 4 minutes were tough especially when a large group of extremely fit teenage schoolgirls went zipping past me. I felt very old lumbering along. But this forum kept me going! Will pick my route for R3 carefully!

You’re doing brilliantly...I don’t think it’s a crime pausing Laura...if you hadn’t did me that you may have burned out & not been able to continue so that was prob a wise thing to do...you’ll be zipping past those fit teenage girls before you know it!!

Well done mergirl101 - those young whipper-snappers have the advantage of youth whereas we have wisdom, or is that hindsight! :o)
