W8 Done! 🎉

Today I completed my week 8!! So happy. I actually did today’s run on a treadmill as I have joined my local gym today. I wanted to have the option to run on the treadmill and outside especially as I have been finding myself getting too overheated running outside recently. Really enjoyed the change. I ensured I moved up the incline to mirror outdoor running a bit more.

I am looking forward to doing some more light exercises around my running schedule including doing arm and more leg exercises for strengthening. Think it will help my running in the coming weeks post graduation.

Hope you’re all doing good. Week 9 on Wednesday for international running day! ❤️🏃🏻‍♀️

Hat’s off to you... I can’t do more than a few minutes on a treadmill 🤣

Strengthening work will certainly help to keep the injury risk down... don’t forget the core as well.

Enjoy your victory lap, or week 9 as it’s also known.

Thank you so much!! That’s so true about core exercises too. Got my proper induction on Friday so hoping I can get some good advice on what machines best to use etc. Can’t believe I’m on week 9 now!! X

Hi - what a great idea to move indoors because of the heat, and for putting the inclines in - well done! Roll on week 9 😊!
