Week 8 Run 1

Ive completed week 8 run 1.

It was tough but I felt good afterwards, I think the secret was when you have run 23 minutes and Jo says you only have 5 minutes left. You can then envisage what 5 minutes are like I think another 2 minutes to get to the 30 minutes should be ok. Ive only got 5 runs lleft till I graduate!

I have had a few inner chimp moments when the chimp is telling me to give up but I try and take these for exactly what they are and try and lock the chimp up in a room.

Stupid chimp! Great running... these runs were impossible a few weeks ago, now they’re tough, soon they’ll be easy! Enjoy the next one.
