Felt ok ish - seem to struggle with longer runs but not giving in when finish line so near - will battle on

Feel incredibly slow - which I know isn’t bad but just feels very very slow 😐 so yes struggling a little!!

Well done getting this far I just started day one of week one today! I realised just how unfit I am! One minute a long time when you not fit😱

You’re supposed to be slow! That’s how it works !

Slow gets the job done and you get to run another day. It’s progressive so don’t be in a hurry

Further, stronger, faster but these things take time.

I feel exactly the same. I finished W8 this morning. That extra two minutes being added on next week sounds a lot to me! I am very slow and barely cover 3km.
