This time last week I'd posted about my struggles with Week 8 where I just couldn't seem to run for 28 minutes without walk breaks, despite knowing I was capable.
I received loads of fantastic advice and set off after work last night for a 'no pressure, no expectations' run. Iset my timer for 30 minutes but told myself I could stop after 20. And then I ran for 30 minutes without a single break!
Aside from the 'no expectations' I changed my route and my playlist so I didn't have any familiar milestones other than my fitness app marking off each 5 minutes. I also slowed right down and had a drink of water before starting.
It could have been that any one of these changes made the difference but I think really it was knowing you were all there with me, willing me on. So thank you, again, I really don't think I'd have yot this far without you!
