Well what a struggle. The previous two on week 8 were a breeze but ohhh mannn today I struggled😭. I DID it but I had to stop mid way to take off my hoody, I was just SOOO hot 🔥🔥🔥😩.

I think that's half the problem I overheat.. (menopausal 😕) This is January in Wales.. Hardly a heatwave. Also the app stopped and I had to rely on my watch.. Not the same without Jo egging you on.

What does everyone WEAR on their runs?

I'm sponsored by Decathlon... I have the warmer leggins which are great and a warm tshirt hooded top which is great. That's it. I get hot so fast, there is no point on more layers for me.

Here's the tshirt: decathlon.fr/maillot-run-wa...

it's soft, dries fast, has a pocket, a hood, things for your thumbs and a high collar.

Hmm not sure as I was back at my parents in France at the time. They can probably post internationally but have a look online. Hope so as it’s just right for me temperature wise !

Shorts (though I’m considering man tights now) a long sleeved running top with a short sleeved one over the top. I’ve been fine so far, but I felt that chill yesterday!

Well done completing, the coach going awol never helps. Week 9 is your victory lap... enjoy.

Ordinary everyday leggings, socks, t-shirt and fleece. I start with a beanie on just now but I’m usually ready to take it off by the end of the warm up. I’ve had no problems so far, except that I have to change my top as soon as I get in to avoid chills.
