So warm!

Early start today before it gets too hot. I’m week 6 and taking each run slowly concentrating on completing rather than speed. So proud of myself as I couldn’t run for the ice cream van 6 weeks ago!

That’s fantastic well done! Is that a separate app you have to record the distance and speed?

Hi yes it is my Fitbit app that tracks my route. If you have an iPhone there should be a gps app you could use.

Well done! I think this is the right way to do it and what I am trying to do. I have just completed week 6 and am worrying already about and extra 3 mins on Monday. Do you find this when extra minutes are added?

Hi Gardengate. I try not to look at the next run until the day otherwise I will worry about it. It is all in the mind. I listen to upbeat music to keep my mind off the extra time and think about how I’m going to feel after I have completed it.
