Well what a surprise. I went for my run tonight W8R3 and at the end of the 28 mins I just kept on going until I couldn't go any further... So pleased to say that I managed 3.11 miles which is my first ever 5k in the bag. Woohoo! So proud of myself! And I couldn't run for 1 minute 8 weeks ago. So when your on your run and feeling like your struggling, just fight through that burn because it really does get easier. I never ever thought I would complete a 5k run let alone just 8 weeks after getting my ass off the couch!

Well done..but be careful.. pushing too hard even at this stage, can be tricky.

Slow down and head to that podium safely and injury free:)
