Overtaken by walker...again

I did R1W8 this morning. And for the 3rd time since starting this program I was overtaken by a walker!!

I know slow is good & it’s not a race. I just feel so embarrassed.

Has anyone else experienced this?

My fastest km was 9minutes55seconds. Btw.

Thanks Charlotte

I have been overtaken by walkers and know exactly how you feel but I try to not take any notice and just do my run. I am just happy to be able to run for 30 minutes by following this programme 😊

Thanks for replying. You are right, it’s just amazing that I can run for 28 minutes (I’m week 8).

Thanks! Yes that’s true. I’m 2 stones heavier now than I was then & I'm really feeling it. But it’s something to aim for!
