How on earth have I got to Week 8??!! My goodness, up at 7 out by 7:15! I was a little worried about this run as it was that little bit longer again. But I’m proud to say that I did it, no stopping, no sickness just running!!

The annoying thing was my strava didn’t record the whole run #damnyoustrava I wanted to be able to compare each run, ah well next time!

Thank you!! I’ve looked back at a video I did on wk 1, I was chuffed with the first attempt. If I can do this, anyone can!! Good luck, you can do it!!

yes...I found the hardest thing of wk8 was the mental dread of running the extra 3mins. It seemed completely impossible...that extra 3 mins felt like staring up from the bottom of Everest. Both wk5r3 and wk8 were my mental hurdles.
