Rain, high winds, trees dropping loose branches (small ones) and soaking from head to toe but despite all that for the last five minutes I was able to speed up a little bit and - wow- that felt like running!!! 3.12 km in 28 minutes, no world record but huge PB for me.

Thank you for all your advice and links and comments.

You are right this is a brilliant program.

It does start to be much more like fun than you ever thought it would be doesn’t it. I’m still in week 6 but actually sad because it’s a rest day for me.
