Week 8 Run 2!

Not the best run, my app decided to stop working at some point after half way! Only realised when I checked it thinking where the hell has Jo Whiley gone lol, think I ran about 27/28 minutes although it felt like double that 😂😂😂

Anyone else getting extra tired with the longer runs? I am really feeling it this week!

You aren’t the first one to have problems with the app. I found that my music wasn’t coming back on after Jo talking and found it very hard to get it back on when out in the sun. Well done for carrying on.

My mapmyrun app told me I’d done a kilometer in 4.33 minutes today which is fantasy as I’ve never gone faster than 7.5 minutes per k to date! plus my music kept switching off and jumping around. Must be a day for app glitches.

It might be electrical storms. Or the fact that MMR is notoriously flaky. But I'd blame Donald Trump. He seems to get everything else wrong so it seems fair enough...

I’ll blame him for my nettle sting too!

Well done you!

Have you upped your rest day exercise.. strength and stamina need to build up too, as the runs get longer and lots of ideas to choose from :)

Been and done it. Better than last but struggled at about 15/18 mins. I suppose I used to struggle at 10 mins so guess that’s progress ?!

Good luck with yours Ang x
