28 minutes, done. Not only did I finish the run but managed to go a little bit further than the last few times, always good :D

Soooo nearly there, not gonna get to 5k in the next 2 weeks but I don't care, I really do believe I can get there relatively soon after and what's an extra few weeks :)

Change of music even helped me enjoy it a little more too, gonna stick to music I like from now on, not borrow "running playlists" from hubby!

Glad you enjoyed your 28 minute run today Parky88, don't worry about not getting to 5K in 30 minutes, you have ran that very well indeed, now onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 8, not long now until you graduate.

Great running and yes a playlist with tracks you like helps you along. I add some remove some every now and again just so i don't get bored and new routes are good also.

Well done you 😊

Well done! So close now! The rain yesterday prevented me from running- I was really disappointed. I then had a late meeting tonight so didn’t

I think music should be personal choice- I have been making a playlist up and use all my favourite songs with a good tempo. The ones I had previously were a bit too modern for me - I can only do so much of that stuff! Enjoy every tune and getting to graduation run will be a breeze!

Rain prevented you from running?.. Get out there in it, what's the worst that can happen! ;)

Normally I’d agree, but this was a full on thunder and lightning 5pm storm! Rain won’t kill you but running out in open fields - no thanks! Even our dog wouldn’t go out!

Well done!

I still can't run 5k within 30 mins (graduated June 2019) but I can run further than I ever believed possible.

Enjoy your next run!
