Well that was quite funny! I didn’t read the run first and thought the first run was 5 minutes long, started running to a podcast today so no reference for length of song. Thought it felt longer and then MJ said right that’s your first 8 minute run done 🤣 after that the rest was fine! Not sure about R3 though but I’ll see how I get on ✅

If you have done the rest, you can do run 3 😊

Just take it steady, slow down if you need to 🏃 🐌 😁

Running is as much a mental workout as it is a physical one.🤯 😁

Thanks Speedy60 🏃🏻‍♀️

Perfect! I had a hiccup that resulted in a baffling second 8 mins, which ended up being 10 or so.

Good in a way ? Well done ✅

Yes I guess, right? Michael stopped. And by the time I realised I’d run ten mins wondering why he wouldn’t talk to me!
