Week 8

I’ve decided not to start week 8 until after my holiday. It’ll be way too hot for me to run in Spain. I know that I’ll have to go back a little on my running plan but that’s ok with me.

Very sensible. I'm sure I read a post from someone who took two weeks off and picked up from where they left off, so you never know, the rest might make you even faster! 😉

Have a great holiday. Any fitness you lose won’t be much as it takes two weeks to start losing any... if it was me coming back from a holiday I’d just go for a nice slow no-expectations run, but setting a timer to stop me at 28 minutes to avoid over doing it.

At the pace I run, I’m sure 28 minutes will be ok. If it isn’t, I’ll just do what I can 🏃‍♀️🐌

Keeping your new fitness up and OK for uk return

Thank you. I’ll do as much exercise as I can, it may be difficult because I won’t have a pool to swim in 😢 but my right arm will get plenty exercise 🍺 lol
