Week 8 run 2 struggled today felt like my legs wanted to run a marathon but my top body wanted to sit down but I got through it just 4 more runs left and I have completed it yey I'm so pleased I got out there and done this as it's been the best thing I have ever done as I have never been able to run in my life 😍

Well done you! You are obviously a very strong person to keep pushing on. That wonderful willpower is what is going to get you your graduation badge.

(Remember though, if the run doesn’t feel at all right and really slowing down doesn’t help...it is ok to cut it short and try again another day. Don’t want you to injure yourself. ..But it sounds like you know your body and made the right choice today! Well done! Happy running!
