Week 8

9 Replies

Run 2 completed today. Actually ran for 30 mins as I lost Laura with 5 mins to go so just guessed when to finish. Not sure how far I ran, I think between 3 and 4k, I might use run keeper on Thursday to get an idea. Can't believe I have got this far.

Thank you, I would never have believed that I would be running for thirty minutes when I started out, the encouragement from this forum really inspires you.

That's great. You can do 30 mins already with 4 runs left to go :)

A complete fluke as I couldn't get my phone out of my back pocket while I was running to check the time. Still I'm really chuffed.

Congrats! Nearly there! I used Runkeeper or similar almost from the start, I liked to see the improvement!

Have deliberately not switched on up to now as I didn't want to become fixated by distance and maybe be disappoint myself. Thanks for the encouragement.

i still pinch myself ,well done and keep at it :D dont worry to much about distance etc you just need to be able to run for the precribed times :D speed etc can come after graduation :D
