I went and finished week 8 today , that week was a long one ๐
I decided to do a loop today
I did the program then walked rest of the way
Checked my progress when I got home
3.50km I had run๐ณ now that was a surprise๐ never run that far before
Fingers crossed week 9 will not take as long to do ๐

Think smooth and steady rather than smash ๐

As long as I manage to do week 9 faster than week 8 then to me I have smashed it ๐

Jo Whiley tells me that if I am not tired to try and step up the pace ? So that's what I did ?

Me too! Fatsteve seems altogether too self-effacing. Iโm thinking of renaming myself slow-goddess, but only once Iโve done week 9 :-)))
