Tried this over a week ago and just could not do it! Having sulked during this time, I decided to try again this evening. I jogged sloooowwwwly and managed to do it this time with a tiny bit left in the reserve tank. I’m wondering if running 13 seconds slower per km really makes such a difference! Anyway it’s done. Week nine.....here I come!

Congratulations on completing week 8 of C25K, not long now until you graduate, I am sure 13 seconds slower per km made a big difference, slow and steady is the mantra slogan here on C25K, good luck for your graduation run 🏃 😊.

Slow and steady works and finishing with something left in the tank is really important.:)
