Loving Week 9!!!

I'm now 2 runs in, planning to do my graduate run on Saturday!

I posted on Sunday about my last run of W8 feeling easier and I was wondering why... I think it was the hour walk I did beforehand. I do an hour a day on an exercise bike too, so this week I've tried doing the cycling before my runs to see if it has any effect, and I've had no 5 or 10 minute run Gremlins which I used to get, and have felt comfortable all the way through the run - so it's something I'll be sticking with.

Been running at my normal pace and then going a bit faster when I hear the half way bell, and when the 30 minutes is up I feel like I want to keep going, so I have been. I ran for 35 minutes on R1, and today on R2 I ran for 40 minutes, and I officially ran my first 5k!!! Actually can't believe it in only 9 weeks! ❤️🏃🏼‍♀️

Good luck to you Shazzom for your graduation run on Saturday, is it at a parkrun or just near to where you live?

Thank you! Nope I was hoping for a Park run finish with my sister but she is running a 10k on Sunday so I'm letting her rest on Saturday ha! Hoping to do my first park run in a couple of weeks, I have one really close to me so I'm hoping to use it quite a bit once I graduate 😊
