Hi I've just managed to get out and completed week 8 run 1 after a week's break and Christmas excesses of food and no exercise. I was concerned this would be hard and I wouldn't make it but I completed the run and feel so much better for it. If anyone's looking at this procrainating. It will be fine, go for it.

You ran slow and steady for your first run of week 8,despite all that Christmas food you had taken over the last few festive days and no exercise, well done, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 8, won't be too long before you graduate 😁 🏃🏾.

Good for you 👍🏼 The thought of it is always worse than the actual run itself isn’t it 🤣

Thanks for the encouragement. I haven't been able to run for 9 days now. I'm so looking forward to tomorrow when I can get out there again. Dreading it too, Christmas excesses and all that 😕

I'm sure you will make it, Speedy60! All that good (and bad) food will have prepared your body for this. As long as you don't start directly after eating all the leftovers ... 😉

Not what you're looking for?
