Only gone and run 30 mins 😳. Would never have thought I’d do that 9weeks ago......I never thought I’d do that 1 week ago! Considering the last run on week 6 made me feel like I was going to pass out.

Lovely Laura said “60 secs left” and I thought “really???” Had gas in the tank so put on a full on sprint for the last 60. Then thought “I’m going to pass out “.

Well done!

I really wish they would pull the sprint suggestion from the end of the longer runs. I hurt myself doing it end of W7 and then aggravated it by some chores and wound up on the IC for a week before I could do W8.

Two more runs to graduation. Take them steadily - loads of time after for PBs!

I know I was a bit daft. My wife graduated a few weeks ago and has been plagued by sore knees, calf’s and hips. I’ve gone through this with no probs apart from a bit of stiff legs towards the start of the program. She hates me for it 😁.

It’s weird how your just able to do it. It’s some sort of wizardry/ witchcraft at work hear 😁
