W8R3

3 runs to go, can’t believe it!! Another great run today, only down fall was my map my run threw a wobbly and didn’t work properly. I still had music but if I went by what it recorded I’d be running next to usain bolt 🏃‍♀️🌪 on the plus it was nice not running to thinking I had to be at certain points by certain km. I just ran and really enjoyed it. Think I might turn the stats off and just run from now on until mj tells me to stop ✋🏻

I can relate to that. I installed Runtastic but it was flaky (didn't always start and record) and the split times really distracted me. I've deleted it from my phone and run without.

I used to use Runkeeper but that went funny on me so went back to map my run. I’m hoping it was just a one off 🤞

Well done my VRB, yes that is some time you set there 😁 are you finding its getting easier and more enjoyable? It gave me such a high almost doing 5k in 30 minutes this morning despite the s**t weather. Hoping to crack the 30 minutes barrier next week and then do some thinking about what to do next.

I’m definitely enjoying running again now and I’m settling back into the runs after work instead of morning. Sometimes I have to argue with myself for 10 mins because I’m knackered but then I tell myself just another half an hour and you can have a day off. It’s kept me going so far! You’ll defo crack the 5k before you finish the programme. Can’t believe how close we are now 🤩

Went out early this morning to do W8R3 even tho I had sore stiff legs when I woke up probably due to going out on my bike yesterday afternoon for the first time in about a month and doing a 27 mile round trip. However I did complete the 28 minutes at what could only be described as a cross between a fast walk and a slow jog covering 4k in the process and not planning to run again until Monday. Still can't believe I've got to W9. 3 runs, 90minutes and 15k to go!
