Forwarding planning for tomorrow if I can’t manage 8 minutes after a 5 minute warmup?? Outside running is so different with all the steep bits - parts that don’t seem that steep walking are murder running - anyway do I try and rerun the next day or leave 2 days then have another go or start back at the R1 for that week?? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Of course you will do it.

Just keep repeating the sticky one until you’ve cracked it, and consider the earlier attempts as practice 😄
