Brilliant run - week 8 run 1

The first 7 minutes of running was awful - my legs felt like lead but I just kept on going, ignoring that voice in my ear to stop. Once I'd got into my stride it was great....I really, really enjoyed my run!

In the beginning there can be a real heaviness but often (although not always!) the run becmes really smooth. Glad you enjoyed yourself out there :)

Great job. W8R1 is my next read so this has really helped boost my motivation to get out and do it.

Well done.
