Despite the cold, the rain and the wind this morning I have just completed the final run of week 8. One more week to go - of the programme at least, I do intend to keep running but without Jo to spur me on.

Trust me, everyone remembers week 1 run 1, it's the hardest run of the program, congrats.

So true!!! 🤣

When the smugness of thinking 60 seconds running is easy vs the reality of 20 seconds in and your all done, slaps you in the face! 🙈

What a reality check - Not that easy after all!

Onto the last 3 runs, eh? If you can run for 28 minutes then you can run for 30 minutes, just keep the pace nice and steady, go as slow as you need to go and control your breathing, you got this.

In a week you will be a graduate and all the hard work will be worth it, trust me, the grin that is coming will last for days!

Well done!! I finished a few weeks ago and I'm still running with the app playing Week 9 Run 3..... not ready to let go of Jo's soothing 'take a deep breath'....!!
