Another good start today, according to Apple 4.83Km really starting to enjoy it and notice my recovery is getting faster as well, just hoping the weather is good the next few weeks.

Well done! Only 2 weeks to go :)

Bit of a random question from someone who is quite a few weeks behind you in the program, but when did you start feeling like your recovery/stamina really started increasing? I am noticing a little change in week 3 but wondered if there was an "aha" moment for you in your journey?

I found looking back that by end of week 8 I was able to hold a conversation, short as I ran and no red face, heavy breathing at end of run, not so much aha as wow where did that come from.

Stamina keeps increasing. You should have lots of aha moments in your running journey. One of the amazing things about it πŸ‘Enjoy πŸ˜€

Really noticing it now but before it was about week 5 when I first felt there was a change.

So close now, ignore the weather and enjoy your last 2 weeks, just the fact you are outside is great
