Well that was different, the horrendous weather didn’t stop me. Now completed week 8. I ran 3.1 miles and my pace though a bit slower tonight as I achieved a pace of 12’10 minutes per mile, I’m not bothered about that. The main thing is that the run was successfully completed and I’m now looking forward to week 9. Yes I’ve said it, it’s graduation week, starting on Monday. 👍🏻🤪🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🤪👍🏻

Thanks, I’m so happy as eight weeks ago I didn’t think I would make it to week 9 without a hitch.

Great attitude! I've loved my runs too. They're never easy (that would bore me 😅) but I really enjoy the challenges!

Wow well done, that's amazing, your basically doing 5k already in less than 30 mins. I'm just about to start wk8, started using mapmyrun last week and am covering 1.8 miles in 25 mins so not close to 5k yet. Pace is something I am starting to work on. X

Remember I’m including the whole of the session. Warm up walk and cool down walk. Yes I am happy with my progress though

So you should be, I am only mapping my run though. Mainly as I was considering doing raceatyourpace and wanted to know a realistic target. X

That’s good, the best run I think is against yourself. It truly shows how you are doing and how far you can push yourself.

Well done. You’re so close now. Enjoy the last week and your graduation!
