Week 8 ✅

Decided to try new routes for week 8 - my previous (lovely and flat) route having been muddied by the local farmer. New routes involved hills - well slight inclines really, they don’t seem much on a bike but oh boy they’re definitely telling when you’re running. Struggled with the route for run 2 - came the closest I’ve been to giving up, had to have a stern word with myself - so went back to the first one for run 3.

Raining and windy today (thank you Freya) but luckily it worked out that it was into the wind going out which was definitely the best way round, as got a bit of wind assistance for the hill at the end. Bizarrely in spite of the weather I found this easier than the previous 2 runs this week. Actually quite enjoyed it and a great sense of achievement to finish week 8 - just 1 week to go!!

Saw a friend of mine this morning who I’d suggested C25K to and was pleased to hear that she’d just finished week 1! Such a great app this,

and the support on this forum is so encouraging 😊

Well done for keeping going. Sounds like a very positive run in the end. Not long now, your virtual badge is being shined ready for you. Rfc x
