Switch brain off. Just go! I totally agree with your top tip!! We’ve got weather warning here and the wind is too high for a safe run (trees have come down) but if it’s just rain? Bring it on!

You’re doing brilliantly. Just one quick thing-are you keeping rest days between your runs? That’s really important as a newbie to reduce your chance of getting injured. No one wants that after all their hard work!

Great attitude, that's how to get the job done! I have yet to read an account of anyone dissolving while out for jog, or anything else for that matter, we should all just crack on with it like you did.

Great post! You're absolutely right, once you start questioning yourself it all gets a lot harder. So don't! Just plonk the next foot down. One more run and it's week 9 for you - brilliant!
