Feel I have started this week well....

You know what I might just achieve this

Only fear is that the 3rd run this week is while away so new unknown route will be needed.. etc and my partner an expert Runner is joining me ....eeek

Already told him I'm following the program and will not be bullied into doing further than Sarah tells me , and will go at my pace.....so he's likely to walk beside me lol !

Well done !

And you made me smile saying you won't be bullied haha, good for you 😁

And that's a very good pace !

Interestingly, the first part was fastest !

Thanks would u suggest I try to set off slower ?

Then perhaps overall be able to go further.. ?

Any advice be appreciated

Personally, yes.

Perhaps save the pace for the last bit once you know your not risking burning out .

Look at these long distance runners , most of their speed is at the end .

But I'm certainly no expert πŸ˜‚
