There I was giving...running for all my life was worth in the last 5minutes, begging for Jo to say 60sec left, or keep on going...or anything at all but was met with silence for minute after loooooong minute and when I eventually thought to check the app as I was slowing down my burst I realised it had stopped. Thats never happened to me before. I was gutted as well as exhausted. Thankfully had both my Nike app and Runkeeper going and I start them after my warm up and stop them when I stop running before cool down. As you can see...I did ok and now know i can do 28minutes when it comes around in week 8. I just let the app play W7 R1 again and save that.

It's hot out there and the temptation to stop and quit was strong but I pushed through. Then I recognised a neighbour and made the mistake of not wanting to appear 'slow' and put on a burst of speed until they were a fair bit behind me but paid for it by having to slow way down to get my breath back. There was no wild run at the end of today. Just a steady increase until I realise the darn thing was off! Lol.

Happy running guys.

So frustrating when this happens! I had to laugh at the burst of speed for your neighbour....I think we can all put our hand up and admit to doing this occasionally! 🙋😂😂 Good luck with your next run! 🙂
