Finally made it.

Although I only completed wk9 run1 on my third attempt....I’ve finally got through it all and did run 3 yesterday. It’s all a bit of an anti climax for me really. Every 30 minute run was a struggle after my psychological block at the beginning of my final week and I never really felt the elation that I expected to feel on completion🙁.

I will continue and look forward to the day that I can do 30 minutes with ease......

Congratulations! Think back to your first few runs and think what the week 2 or 3 you would say to you now! I'd bet you'd be really proud of yourself xx

I feel the same did my first consolidation run Friday early but still hot. At 26 minutes I was back at my house couldn’t carry on for another 4 minutes. But 26 minutes was still an achievement and I will hopefully do 30 minutes tomorrow. Just build up slowly you are not racing anyone else
