Wow, that's amazing! Well done. Are you running faster or have you kept the pre-grad pace?

I felt I ran a bit faster today. Runners were running past me on my route. But they like like they’re part of athletic club. My distance showed 4.67 on my fitbit. But I don’t know if it’s accurate. So not quite doing 5k. How are you doing?

Well I completed W8R3 this morning. Most exhilerating part was being able to speed up in the last minute. I have NEVER been able to do that! 😃

Great run... just keep the 10% rule in mind and you’re good.

Um, what is the 10% rule?

To only add 10% of your total distance/duration a week.
