W7R2 think I’m getting the hang of it now

So today I went out in the drizzle for a run and loved it.. checked my stats when I got home and looks like I’m running a bit faster as Strava logged 8 personal records

1km 8:41

2km 6:18

3km 6:59

4km 6:54

5km 9:26

Overall 7:40km average my last run was 8:20km average.

It’s still not easy and each run is a test but breathing seems to be ok and my recovery is getting quicker. Only 7 more runs till graduation. Still can’t believe I have got this far the feeling you get after finishing each run is nearly better then scoffing a big bar of chocolate
