Just finished week 8. Still not very fast but I cannot believe that I am this far into the programme without giving up.

I always worried about speed but have found since graduating that going for a run with others is quite eye opening that I can run for 30+ mins in a nice rhythm whereas people who have not run before go too fast and have to stop. I feel like the hare and the tortoise 🐢

Get it so you enjoy running at a certain speed and then you can build on it

You’re doing brilliantly!
