Well, as most of you predicted, this set went much better than the day 2 set... I even ran on for a minute or two after the last 3 minute run, just to prove to myself that I could. Next week has a lot less fear for me now!

Great news. You're ready now.

Funny how 2 runs are never quite the same.

I've got much better now at slowing down when I'm finding it tough. It's a really hard lesson though and doesn't come naturally.

Another week in the bag, you're doing great!

There seems to a lot of runners around me. All going faster than me. I just keep on going and pay no attention. Though to be honest, nobody seems to pay any attention to me either and I'm good with that 🤣🤣🤣

Well done, but sticking rigidly to the plan is the best way to avoid doing too much too soon.

Not what you're looking for?
