Week 9 Run 1 smashed ☀️😜💪

[Needtoslim]

After finding week 8 quite tough I didn’t know what to expect with week 9. Followed my usual route and went early before the sun comes out to play! (I find running in the sun almost impossible) As usual the first few minutes were the hardest, getting focused and setting my pace. I like week 9 commentary as you get updates on your progress every 5 minutes which keeps me motivated! The last 3 minutes were a drain, probably because I was going uphill and knew I was almost at the end, I ran an extra 20 seconds at the end just to get to the end of the road. I managed 4.6km not the 5km however I have found myself getting quicker each run as I get fitter so I am confident that I will be doing 4.7km or 4.8km by the time I graduate which I will not be disappointed with! 2 more runs until graduation and I am excited for my next run already 😝

Wow 😮 The last 3 minutes uphill, that’s unfortunate, but shows how fit you are to do that and a bit more besides.....Graduation Day is in sight....Good Luck with the remainder of your journey 👍
