Heeded advice and started slow. Kept it steady and lo and behold, I did it. 28 Minutes ran! With 6 minutes to go, Billy Joel started singing “Slow down, you crazy child...”, then Ol’ Blue Eyes took over “And now, the end is near...”. I crossed the finish line to Iggy Pop’s Lust for Life - yay!

Week 8! I'm dead envious. I'm still on Week 1. I started just before Christmas, had a break so started Week 1 again today. Week 8 in my dreams!

Hi, Well done on your run. I'm about to do this one today. Feeling a bit anxious although it is only 3 minutes more. I usually listen to podcasts on my runs. Last time it was an interview with Alan Carr which kept my mind off my aching legs!
