W8 run1 in the bag. Very surprised how much I enjoyed it. But the sun was shining and it’s a great morning running through the countryside. What’s not to like 😊. Bring on run2. Unfortunately I don’t think I can do that the until next weekend. Will that be a problem for me?

Well done.

It's fun, this running thing.

You now have enough running on your legs that a week between runs will not affect you in any significant way.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Thank you so much. That’s good advice. I’m already looking forward to it.

Well I did it! W8R2. You were absolutely right I didn’t notice any difference. I must be fitter than I thought. I was so looking forward to it too as missed my run dreadfully through the week. Thanks

Well done ! And no next weekend should not be a problem for you !

I had 16 days off after week 8 run 1 (injury) then carried on to do week 8 run 2 .

It was slow but that was fine 😁👍

Thank you. That’s reassuring. I was wondering if it was possible.

Yes, you won't loose much fitness in the first two weeks , and then only slowly 👍

You’re doing well. Week 8 👍 A whole week to look forward to the next run. How will you be able to stand it?
