Wk8R1

This run was so hard! My son borrowed my trainers and got them wet, so I used his, 2 mins in I was dying! My calves were killing, I persisted and managed my 28 mins, purely because I’m so stubborn, but oh it’s put me in a dower at how hard it was. 😒

I found the first run incredibly hard and that’s with my correct trainers on. Get your proper trainers dry and hidden from your son. I found the second run easier so I’m sure you will too.

Well done - just done my W8 R1 this morning!! I took quite a few attempts to complete W7 and I do think you need to have properly completed all previous week runs even if it takes 3 weeks to complete them . Keep going nearly there
