It's interesting to see how the programme progresses. When I complete the run tomorrow I'll have done just over a quarter of the total required running time.

I don't agree with the use of scary...........the intent of the plan is to get you running for thirty minutes, so surely the progression is to be expected??
I’m surprised it’s only 8 hours ! Felt like 80 at the time of completion of week 9 🏁🏆😂🤣How amazing we can learn to run 30 minutes with only 8 hours practice 🤩🤩🤩Fabulous program and support thank you again 🙏🏃♀️

As a person interested in statistics I find that post of yours nowster very interesting, run 1 of week 1, run 3 of week 5 and run 3 of week 9 are especially important at 00:08, 02:57 and 08:09 respectively.

I don’t get the cumulative run time?
It's a totalizer of hours and minutes run so far. How much you've put on the clock.
The first day you've run 8 minutes in total. The second you've run another 8 minutes, so that adds up to 16 minutes. Third day another 8 mins, so 24 mins in total. The second week adds 9 mins per day, the third another 9 mins per day, etc. etc.

Interesting! Having just done W7R1 I have slightly less than half the total running time to go - this does encourage me to treat these last weeks with respect and recognise that, though on paper it doesn't look like much of an increase, it's a significant total effort and I should make sure that I take additional rest days if my body is saying it needs them.
