Week 8 here we come

Did run 2 week 7 on a treadmill as very windy and there was a gym where I was staying. Felt really long, had to grit my teeth, kept looking at the clock, waiting to finish. Run 3 this morning was so much better, in spite of the rain. Really sprinted to the end. Only 2 weeks to go. Not going to make 5K yet as pace too slow but I keep reminding myself, it's the time that counts, speed comes later. Aiming for the 5k Chase the pudding race on Weymouth beach in December. Would be great to run all the way without a walk in the middle, fingers crossed!

Brilliant, well done RubyTiger. I really enjoyed week 8 , I'm sure you will do. Finishing line in sight. I did w9r1 today, then pushed on to 5k in preparation for my graduation run at Parkrun next Saturday

Great run. Yes, build endurance and then speed. You’ll be able to run that 5k, just keep doing what you’re doing!
