Hello Week 8.....

[Ang33333]

.... Run 1 completed! I ran for 28 minutes and I'm still breathing!! It was warm and very humid after a heavy rain shower earlier but set off slow and made it! Even managed a 'sprint' finish!! Legs a bit tired but feeling so positive!

Having two rest days now before run 2 on Thursday.

Well done on the "sprint" finish. I tried one of those too, but an asthmatic tortoise would have beaten me for pace.

Ha Ha! I have a tortoise and she's fast!!

[Mumsygill Graduate]

Hurrah ! Well done - proud of you girlfriend!! A sprint finish to boot.

You should feel ecstatic so lap it up.

Mine is in the morning- will keep you posted 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Mumsygill]

Good luck!! You can do it!!

[Darude Graduate]

Wow impressed you still got energy for that finish. You're so gonna nail the final week with that momentum. Keep it going.

[Jullaly Graduate]

me too, after todays episode I think I will run on Thursday

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Jullaly]

Definitely think it will be 2 rest days from now on!

[Jullaly Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

I have to admit I do better with 2 rest days .. must be my age lol

[Madge27 Graduate]

Well done!! I did wk 8 1st run today as well. I too started off slow and continued slow right to the end!! Massive sense of achievement though😊

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Madge27]

Slow is good. Will be nowhere near 5k after 30 mins!

[Bridget007 Graduate]

Well done 😃😃 and sprint finish too 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Madwife60]

Exactly the same for me except I got caught in the storm. Tried to outrun it as I could see it coming over the sea....maybe a bit ambitious😄. Found aching legs the biggest issue rather than breathing etc. Go us

[Ang33333 Graduate in reply to Madwife60]

Oh no! It hammered down here in Wiltshire! Went dark, rained, then blue skies again!

[Madwife60]

It kept me cool!

Well done! I completed this run tonight too, was absolutely dreading it because of the heat but left it until about 7pm and there was actually a nice cool breeze. Plus I’d drank gallons of water today in preparation because I was so worried about the run. Went really well in the end, can’t believe I’m running for 28 minutes! It’s an amazing feeling isn’t it? Good luck for next run to all week 8ers! 🏃🏻‍♀️

[YoureDoingGreatPet]

I’ll be running this one on Tuesday afternoon all being well, can’t wait 🙂

[Guesty26 Graduate]

Well done Ang you've nearly cracked it. Week 7 and 8 was when I started to get excited about this programme and wanted the graduation badge etc. You've come a long way from those minute runs weeks ago, we all have, now really enjoy your next few runs. Your going to do it no probs.

[Beestonbabe Graduate]

Well done, it feels great doesn't it? I am doing the second WK8 run tonight, but my evening runs never seem as good as the morning ones so will have to see how it goes! Happy running 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️
