Week 8 ✔️

A run that mainly consisted of me enjoying being out and being slow. I didn’t think I would last if I pushed myself today so in order to complete the run I went very slow. Felt a bit guilty at the end though as I wasn’t tired 🤫 it was fairly uneventful run apart from when the farmer came to feed the sheep - the noise they made when they heard/saw him coming! 🙉🐑

Nice quiet ones are good (even if the sheep weren’t quiet). Don’t feel guilty, you did it with some left in the tank. That will set you up well for the next one and shows you’re getting fitter. Good job.

That’s the best pace to go, the don’t feel tired after, sprints intervals etc can come later, I remember counting the minutes off on week 8 and wondering if it would ever end, coming home and doing nothing for the rest of the day, it was months later I realized I could run longer and still enjoy the rest of the day

Yes absolutely, I just hope I haven’t jinxed it as I definitely need to be able to keep up a routine with the longer runs now 🏃‍♀️
