DNF?

So today I “completed” week 8 R1 today after a couple weeks of not running due to a cold. Still not fully over it but went out anyway.

So 5 mins into the run had to stop and walk as there was such a heavy headwind and my nose was tripping me up and I couldn’t breath. Thought about giving up but instead I turned around I did most of the rest of the run with the wind behind me. So that little stop was about 90secs, then I ran the rest of the time plus about 60secs extra at the end. Is that enough to say I completed this run or do I need to repeat it?

You will repeat it by running run 2 and 3 of week 8 of C25K on Wednesday (.if you want to run on Christmas day ) and Friday,just take that 28 minute run a little slower than you did the first time you ran it, drink plenty of water the day before you run, I wish you the complements of the season 🎄 🤶
