Was that a sloth that overtook me?

Finished week 4 this morning 😁. I overcooked it on the first 3 mins and struggled for the rest. The last 5 min run I wouldn't have got through without the app to help. I kept running though, but really slowly . Next week I will stop looking at speed and distance stats and make sure I finish. πŸ˜‡

Nice one John! That's all you have to do - finish. The stats can wait until you've cracked this thing. Best of luck with the rest of the programme.

Cheers, I'm not using runkeeper for while, I know my routes and distances so time and speed can wait.

Well done for finishing. It's completing the intervals that count, not how fast you go.

Thanks, I know you're right, I need it to sink in.

Good plan there for next week. You’re doing great and recovering from a fast start isn’t easy.
