Week 8. Still going strong

[saxo1]

I cant believe it..I completed Run 1 of week 8 on Saturday and actually almost enjoyed it..

I really cant believe i am doing this, but I am very slow..but I have followed all the advice on here and tried not to worry about the distance...yet.

looking forward to tonight

Hi saxo1 - well done!!! we are at exactly the same point - I did W8R1 on Saturday, and will be doing W8R2 tonight. Really glad to read your positive post as I'm panicking hugely!! I'm finding it so difficult, I am slow as a snail and it's a struggle to keep going, but somehow I manage it! Best of luck to you with tonight's run!

i FOUND WEEK 7 REALLY HARD AND WOULD HAVE STOPPED IF IT WASNT FOR MY DAUGHTER ENCOURAGING/ BULLYING ME.

But i really slowed down for week 8 and it worked.

Keep going...we can do it

Just done week 8 run 2 and found last 5 mins very tough and am still beetroot coloured! I think I tried to speed up a tiny bit on run out and suffered on run back. However I did it though only doing 3.5 km so 5 km seems a long way off! Somehow comforting to hear others finding it tough too. But we are doing it 🙂
