Ran Week 8 Run 1 tonight was very cold but succeeded in completing the run with no issues. One done 5 to go. Speed getting better, running for longer and distances getting greater. Good luck to every one especially those on Week 8. A few gremlins at around the five minute mark but soon saw them off. A good pace over the distance.

Although the first and last bits of my Strava are the warm up and down I think that accounts for around 0.6miles but yes it is increasing

I haven’t measured distance yet but going to start now on W7 as curious about hie far I’m travelling and my pace.

I get a rough idea from google maps of how far I actually run by measuring route and using it as a guide

I suppose I could start Strava later but then I like to know how far I have travelled in first place.
