Well just finished w8 had to take a few days away from it for work etc however was determined and just had the gait analysis done and purchased my new brook beasts. (Sound good don’t they) well not what I was expecting as my calves were worse than ever so I suppose I have to run them in a bit. Not running out of breathe and just the bloody tight right calf strikes again and here’s me thinking £125 pair of brooks would solve it! Well three runs left but I’ve been leaving an extra rest day as I am paranoid of getting injured due to my weight. Will I ever be a “proper runner”? Who knows but I will graduate.

Well done pegasus, you ARE a proper runner!! You’ll be fine on W9, it’s only 2 minutes longer than you’ve been used to. You can always embrace your inner snail and take it nice and easy if you feel your calf might prefer that.

Anyway, we’re cheering you on to the finish line now. Not long now, and you’ve got this!! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️👍🏻🙌
