Week 9, Run 1

So today was much better. I managed to get out of my head and just get on with it (okay, watching Friends at the same time may have helped!).

I have just run for a total of 30 minutes 😳🥳 I didn’t started my watch until after my warmup walk either so I’m pretty chuffed with 4.3km!

For anyone debating whether they can do this, believe me, if I can do it, anyone can!! It’s almost killed me some weeks but such an achievement when you complete each run 😁😁

Bring on run 2!!!

Congratulations on your 30 min run 👍 I'm assuming this is run 1 ?

Just a bit confused as your post title says week 9 run 3 but your screenshot says run 1 and the end of your post you say bring on run 2 😁

I’m looking forward to the end but not sure whether I’m going to cope without Jo Whiley giving me 5 minutes talks lol

I must say I thought the same with Sarah Milican but I’ve done 3 runs this week with just my music and I’ve been absolutely fine! Would never have believed it but I was!!
