W8R2: Back to routine after a cheeky rest week!

I did W8R1 a week ago. Then, the subsequent rest day turned into a rest week 😬☺️ Whoops! It just so happened plans to eat out with different groups of friends ended up in the same week and I kept putting run off. Finally, I gave myself a stern talking to and got my backside out there today for the next run. I am too close to give up now! Naturally doubting my ability after a week off and eating unhealthily but it was fine!! Boy, it feels great to get it done. I will sleep well tonight 👍

Great run. Assuming running is for life, you’ll get a lot of those weeks, nothing wrong with getting one now, in fact maybe it helps... I don’t know your future plans, but having that kind of week 4 before a HM for the first time would cause panic, now you know you can handle it. Nice to see you back out there... 4 runs to the podium, enjoy them all.

Good work getting back on the programme. Enjoy the rest of the runs ahead and prove to yourself (if you didn't already know) that you are a runner! 😸👟👟👟
