Into Week 8 😀! Run 1 ✅

Quite a simple run this morning. I noticed the step up to the extra 3 minutes but slowed my pace and just kept going. I always finish my run on this route on a slight incline but I guess that will pay off in the long run.

I switched to Jo Whiley today and really enjoyed listening to her encouraging me. It's reassuring to know that her comments come from experience. I think I'll keep her running with me to the end of the 9 weeks now. 😊🏃‍♀️

Happy running everyone!

I can see that long elusive week 9 run 3 on the horizon! Hope I haven't just jinxed myself 🙄🤞🏼🍀!

Noooo you'll be fine, I stuck with Michael all the way through, but I know other people have switched

Have been laid low with stomach bug.. so no running at the moment apart from to the loo! Well done you and I agree about Jo! Was briefly unfaithful to her but have switched back,

[Hidden in reply to Timotea]

Poor you! Rest up, the runs will wait.

I really liked Jo. I wished I'd tried her as a coach earlier, but better late than never.

I found W8 tough, but then I find most runs tough. But W9 was a good week for some reason - maybe the excitement factor 😁

Well done, you’ve got this, and it’s not long now 👍😁

[Hidden in reply to Wenderwoo]

Thank you 😊

[Hidden in reply to Wenderwoo]

Thanks Wenderwoo. I found last week hard going. Today's run was quite uneventful by comparison, I just plugged away at it. 😊

Great running Delly-dot, wk9 and graduation just around the corner. Good luck and well done 😊😊

[Hidden in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you 😊. That elusive week 9 that I’ve been hankering after for so long! Nearly there!

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Wk9 was actually my best week of running

[MartinKH Graduate]

Well done Delly-dot, impressive that you adjusted your pace to keep going.

Keep up the great work, you’ve got this 👍🏃‍♂️💪🏃‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to MartinKH]

Thank you. It’s great to be in week 8!

[Nilsam Graduate]

Wow, Delly-dot, so close to finish. Brilliant. Sound like you are going to smash it. Happy running 🏃‍♀️👍

[Hidden in reply to Nilsam]

Thank you Nilsam. Finishing line in view!

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Definitely. Enjoy next week. 🏃‍♀️👍

Sounding positive for W8! Here’s to those lighter nights and mornings now spring is around the corner.

I’ve had Jo’s voice all the way through. I find her tone is really encouraging. 🌸🏃🏼‍♀️🌸

I listen to Jo Whiley - she is so calm and measured - I don't know what the others are like, but I couldn't stand someone with a shouty voice!

[Hidden in reply to Fitat50plus]

Jo Whiley was great and I stuck with her right through to graduation after this run 😊🏃🏼‍♀️.

I, too, had a very pleasant, uneventful W8 R1 today. Just chugged along knowing I was capable. I forgot to look at the sheep. Felt easier than last week's 25mins!
