Well I decided earlier to postpone my run till tomorrow morning due to weather but I saw someone’s post on here saying they have just completed w8r3 I started getting the itch to go today. So I did!

It was my best run to date. No problems with breathing, didn’t feel like I was waiting for Laura to say half way or anything. The heat was no problem compared to Monday’s run which was horrible. I think that was because I had my tea an hour before the run and this time I didn’t. Felt so so good when I made it to 28 mins.

Can’t believe I’ve made it to week 9 and my plan is to do a Parkrun next Saturday after I graduate.

Well done and yes having your dinner an hour before a run isn't a good idea , better to run first. Believe it you can do this 😊😊

I go and do my runs at 4.45am - can cope with it then as it’s only around 17 degrees 😂. Run for 30 min come home and decompress before hitting the shower then work. Thank goodness for air con in the car and work 🔥

Well done, I am taking rehydration drinks after running in this heat - plus I run very early - did 30 mins at 6 am today - if you can do 28 then next week is the final hurdle and you will graduate - enjoy.

Well done 👍 Sounds very positive! Inspo for me as I really struggled with W8R2 today. Good luck graduating and completing first park run!
