Week7 done ✅

Hi there. I posted earlier in the week that I was really not managing these longer runs. Thanks for all the advice and support I received...and just thought I'd let you know that I have not long run 3 and it went really well.

I have never listened to anything whilst out, but as Michael is barely speaking to me at the moment, I think I had too much time to think! So I downloaded a podcast and Sarah Millican, Claudia Winkleman and Sharon Horgan made me giggle along the road! And as everyone said, and despite me saying I couldn't, I went REALLY slowly. I don't measure distance other than the tree I usually get to at the half way bell, but was nowhere near it today and it massively helped.

I might just finish this now! Happy Friday everyone.

Well done you!! Sounds like a real improvement. It is quite amazing how one can go really slowly and still find a slower speed still. All the best for week 8! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Well done. “Run slower” isn’t as easy as it sounds - I have similar landmarks I use to recognise my pace.
