Week 9 Run 3 Graduate

It’s a long time since I’ve been called one of those!! Busy day inside all yesterday sewing and at 3.30pm I thought let’s go for this final run in the most beautiful sunshine....and smashed it with improved pace and 5.1kms. But I still walked either end of the 30 mins so I know I’m not quite there yet.

Having read and inwardly digested all the advice on here, I’m going to consolidate the time over the next 3 weeks so that running becomes a habit and try to increase 10% one run a week, that’s my target. Also start Map my Run app com the run bit not the walk bit!

I started on 27th December, this can be done, a great program and feel a real sense of achievement!
