Last run of the week was a tough one. I'd put it off a day cause not feeling too great and the legs were still sore from run 2. Halfway through it was brutual but kept going through sheer bloody mindedness and when Naveed said I was done I kept going to get the 30 so no fear week 9 😱 Now to rehydrate 🍺 Slaing !

Well done for persevering when the going gets tough, and you will be rewarded! You are two runs ahead of me, but I might have 2 day gaps between runs to help my body recover better from these longer runs. Will play it by ear. Have a good rest before the start of the final countdown!!! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Cheers. An extra day off can help and it's better than pushing too hard and getting injured or having to repeat a run :( Good luck with next run πŸƒ
