Well that was a weird run, messed with my head a bit, thanks for the warning gang, really felt I could have kept going after the first 5 and found it hard to then walk until the next run. But I stuck to it and I feel good 😊

All about different disciplines in our running... and you were ready for it.. just like each and every run you do..:)

Huge well done... relax into these runs now, as they get longer.. the new running legs begin finding their happy pace:)

Great start to your day :)

Isn’t it the weirdest run? I was glad I had the heads-up too, because on paper it looks so innocuous after the 20 minuter. But it has a cheeky sting in the tail doesn’t it?

Well done, it’s behind you now. Just one more interval run on R2, then you’re into the lovely longer runs. 😀

Good luck! 👍🏻👍🏻

Well done for completing it.

We did ours this morning and I have to say I was a bit disappointed. I had read that people had found it hard and odd because of the stops again, (and it was) but in my head I thought We had more runs than we actually had so when Sarah said we had finished I was really disappointed. (It was kind of like watching a crime drama series for weeks on end to find that the killer was the man who bought a newspaper at the beginning and only appeared in the first episode) I was all set to run again. Does this mean I have the running bug ha ha ? We will see ...
