Well, on my 3rd attempt at W8 i finally managed to run non-stop for 28 minutes. It wasn’t fast although I had enough in the tank to speed up on final 5 minutes so very very pleased. Temperature was perfect today at about 18 degrees at dawn. Onwards to next week!

Well done! 👏👏👏

I found the first run of week 8 really hard, but I did it, though suffered with aches and pains the next day. Who would think that 3 extra minutes would make all that difference 😂

Hi, yes, I found the first two runs of week 8 hard but from the third it seemed to just click and then the first of Week 9 was fine x
