Week 8 run 1 ✅. Proper chuffed. Hot as a hot thing but kept going. Amazing how day didn’t go quite as planned (up at 5 for run to find a very flat tyre... etc etc) but HAD to find time to fit my run in. Who am I? A very happy novice who really appreciates you lovely lot! X

I’m currently on Run 2 of Week 8. I went out about 10 ish and found it a bit hard even when I shortened my route.

This forum is really brilliant to keep you motivated and share experiences. I run on my own but it is nice to share things with other runners.

Keep going Vintage. Your doing grand. 🏃‍♀️👍🏻

Nice to hear the addiction has kicked in nicely! Great job... 5am is certainly dedication... I didn’t know there was one until recently 🤣
