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˜‡

Well done! The 100% main thing is you kept going! Let those sloths, snails and tortoises zip past you! You’ll have the last laugh every time!

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.
