W8 R1 Done! ✅

Just came back from W8 R1 and feel great. Can’t believe I just ran for 28 mins, just 2 mins away from the big 30 min goal.

I thought Jo would tell me when I had 60 seconds left so was really surprised when she said I had finished! Was fully prepared to run another minute or two.

Not only that, but two minutes into the cool down walk I reached the 5K mark! So very chuffed! (That includes the 5 min warm up walk too)

Hope you all enjoy your runs if you are going today and have a lovely day x

I've done this run today in the rain but really enjoyed it. I was waiting for the last 60 seconds reminder, I think that's a way to get us prepared for week 9 runs! I had more in me too. We can definitely do 30 mins.

Well done on your run x

Thanks Lynsh, I agree they are trying to prepare us for 30 mins. Well done to you too and I hope running in the rain wasn’t too bad. Xx
