So just done new longer run.. I put strava on again but it only recorded 26 mins 34 seconds so i obviously ran further... Happy with my pace around 7 mins 20 per km (better than w7 r1) and the main tbing was i finished!! Cant believe the change in 8 weeks... Thanks for all your encouraging words.. Now rest til Tuesday have a great weekend...

I just did the same run! I actually cried when I’d finished! My phone is recording 1.3km in 10 mins so I don’t think our paces are much different. Good luck for run 2!!!

Definitely challenging.. My right legs a bit sore/ stiff now?

stretch, soak in a bath, take a pain pill if you need and enjoy your rest day, depending on your trainers think about a gait analysis and buy the best you can afford, it makes a difference
