I got told off (with humour) for using the Fail word so I won’t use it here, did week 8 and struggled each day, had to do each run twice as I didn’t manage to complete the first attempt but got there in the end, so although I was looking forward to week 9 I also had a feeling I may have to the runs a couple of times but set out this afternoon and booom, did run 1 first time, ok I may still have problems with runs 2 and 3 but nailing this one gives me confidence that I know I can do it, absolutely buzzing now, roll on Wednesday.

Absolutely - you know you can do it now, and that gives you the confidence you need to do these long runs. Well done, keep going, and see you on the podium soon 😀👍👏

Brilliant JT! Deep inside you know you’ve got this. You’ve done 30 minutes now. Just two more and you’re home and dry! You’ll be up on the podium feeling deservedly proud of yourself.

Go on ..... nearly there! Good luck on Wednesday! 👏👏😀😀

Please don't be trepidatious, it's too hard to spell. 😵

No reason to expect problems with runs 2 & 3. You've nailed it once so it's only the gremlins to give you a hard time.

Keep on buzzing, it's a great feeling and the gremlins hate it. 🤬🤬🤬

Great stuff. The repeated runs mean you’re 3 runs stronger heading into week 9 than you would have been without them, and that’s why the F word doesn’t belong on those runs. Just approach the next two as you did today’s.

Update, nailed run 2 today, exactly the same time as Monday’s despite it being very windy, felt I was going a bit slower but obviously not. Can’t wait till Friday now.

Not what you're looking for?
