When Jo said "You only have 5 more minutes", I picked up the pace with the energy I had left. I now feel the burn in my thighs πŸƒπŸΏβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜¬

Running Queen Gracious....well done on completing that one. Oooh I can feel that effort πŸ˜• take it steady, you've been doing amazing. Hope your next run is a good one, stay relaxed. πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ™‹

I definitely will next time. I have a tendency to push so hard that it floors me and don't feel well enough to do the next run. I only have one run until I move to W9 πŸ˜‰

Well done but do be careful. It’s not a race, it’s a challenge. Speed isn’t important at all at this stage but stamina is. If you overdo it you’ll spoil your finale and that would be a rotten shame. Slow and steady, that’s the way to conquer this baby πŸ˜‰
