That was hard. I was too hot (went out it long sleeves which I realised was a mistake straight away), and I set off too fast. The last 60 seconds went on forever! I did it though. No more interval runs! Starting to feel like a runner now!

Brilliant well done. It's so hard not to start fast when you feel great from your training but great lesson for all of us !!

Yessss embobs, and by the way you ARE a runner! Now all you have are lovely long runs until graduation, where you can find your happy pace and rhythm.

Well done on smashing those two bogey runs and beating the gremlins. Bet you’re glad they’re over! 😀

I certainly am! After today a tiny doubt has slipped in that I might not make 25 mins but I’m trying to ignore it!

Oh yeah! What a superstar! 👏👏👏 Isn’t it a great run? I think it’s the exact moment I became totally addicted!

Now all you have are long runs left until graduation - and guess what! You’ll smash those too! 😀👍
