Week 8 run 3 done. I'm in shock!

Can't believe that's week 8 done. I was ready to stop 2/3rds of the way through as it's been a rubbish day, but I just kept telling myself I'd have to do it again if I did. So happy it's done, but a little apprehensive for week 9.

Well done on completing week 8 ,👍I also used to tell myself don't stop because you'll only have to repeat it 😂

Well done.

A bit late in the day, but you need to adjust that attitude. This post about mental approach may help healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Relax and enjoy it.

I did that run earlier today. You've already nailed three 28 minute runs. Next week's runs are only two minutes longer.Kick those demons out, clear your mind and run....and most importantly enjoy that run!

Excellent!!. Only 3 more to go and then a shiny graduate badge awaits you. Assuming you did 28 min runs last week you only have 6 mins more than that to do, and that is nothing. Here's to you completing this. 🍾🍾🍾
