So yesterday I completed the first run on week 8! When I started the course I would never have thought I’d be able to run continuously for 8 minutes, let alone 28!! I actually felt so good that I think I could’ve ran the whole half an hour!

Well done Lydia978, I think the longer runs show us how far we’ve come in terms of stamina and fitness.....28 mins is a great achievement 👍🏃‍♀️
