Well that’s week 8 over!! Still can’t believe that I can actually keep going for 28 minutes 😁😁

It is a beautifully sunny morning with a very gentle cooling breeze just perfect for a gentle run.

Still feel a little on the slow side but once I have completed wk9 I will try and up my speed.

Have a fab day all xx

Sounds like you had a really great run today and yes 28 minutes non stop is amazing as this all started with 60 seconds. Well done you 😊

I know Calcon I can’t really believe it! 3 runs to go then I think I might be a bit lost for a while trying to get speed up 😁

Brilliant well done Twinkle9, finish line in sight! No such thing as slow, I promise you. Keep running slow after you graduate, the benefits are enormous. You will build strength and stamina without fatigue and injury. Increased speed will come naturally in time. Keep enjoying your running!!
