Really disappointed the voices got the better of me today! Got to about half way and was really struggling, got to 20mins and just couldn’t keep going, so walked for about 90 seconds to recover and carried on I did tack on an additional minute at the end.

Would you repeat or move on to run 2 which is the same again ?

Move on, move on! Next run will be fine, gremlins won't dare to make an appearance! Well done for carrying on 🙌👊🙌

I would only repeat if the next run is different to the one you've just done. Good luck!

Here’s where I differ a bit (there’s always one! 🙄) I like to do things by the book, so I’d repeat it, thereby making sure I physically completed 3 x 28 minute runs non-stop before moving on to W9.

But I guess it doesn’t matter really, so up to you entirely!

Whatever you decide, enjoy your running and slay those darned gremlins. No-one wants them around! 😅🏃‍♀️😀

Yeah I’m a bit of a stickler too! I’ll see how I get on, but might feel I’ve cheated it I don’t complete all three 😇

I see the score as more of a draw, that gremlin was offside! You slowed to a walk and then went again and in my opinion that run is finished with as next one is the same. You did 25 last time so I think it’s just one of those days and you’ll kick it’s butt next time out.

Not what you're looking for?
