Well im still a snail, but can now feel it working. Managed the 2x8 mins and was totally surprised when Sarah told me i only had 60secs left. I wss expecting recovery then another 5min run! Still dont understand how i will manage that 20min run on tursday though, and am whilst determined to try, am realistic this could be the repeat week.

I’ve just graduated and still feel like a snail! I like to call my technique shuffle jogging! Keep to your pace if it feels right for you. I’m not managing 5K in 30 minutes. 😀

Thanks, you’ll be there too soon! It’s definitely a mental thing. Just believe in yourself and keep plodding on like I did. Good luck & keep going. 💜

Slow and steady is how you will do the next runs... well done you! Snails rock!

Its interesting looking at previous run speeds. In earlier weeks ive been clocking between 10 and 13 km/h as top speeds. This time 7.9 is my top and nearly all of the running bits a steady snail pace of 7 to 7.5. Was nice to see that solid held pace even if slow!

Yes a few of us thought that, but the programme works and you will do it Lucyfur
