W8R2 done!

That has got to have been my best run yet! Smashed all my PBs and felt like I still had some (not loads!) left in the tank! Absolutely delighted.

I ran just before lunch - still got a bit of a stitch; I find running on anything other than an early morning empty stomach gives me a stitch, any tips?

Can’t wait for Sunday now anyway 🙌 feel very much like I’m on the home straight 😀

Something tells me you’re going to smash the rest of the programme! Good luck! 😀

As regards getting a stitch, maybe you’re not leaving enough time between your last meal and your run? Or could you reduce the amount you eat, and eat properly afterwards? I can only manage a bite of banana before I run. I don’t like having a totally empty stomach. One more thing - are you hydrating adequately?

Enjoy your last 4 runs! 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

It’s usually hydration or a full stomach... sounds like it could be the change of time and lack of emptiness?

Great run though... very well done.

Only 4 runs to go until you graduate. Sounds like you are going to smash week 9 🤜🤛. Great running 👏👏
