Completed this run this am & it was surprisingly okay. The weather was gorgeous out there, it was starting to warm up (I overslept & had meant to be out earlier!) but there was a lovely breeze along the sea front. Really pleased I ran for 2 x 8 min blocks and a little apprehensive for the 20min next run, but will give it my best. All I can say is that I didn’t feel anywhere near as exhausted after either of the 8min runs than I did after the first ever run of week 1 😂😂 .

Brilliant! Well done...

I had a concern about week 5 run 3 but it has been my most comfortable out of all runs so far and I am by no means a natural!

Slow and steady and you will smash it 🏃🏽‍♀️👏👏
