Penultimate run - W9R2

Only one run left! Stuck to the 30 minutes required today. Need to start taking my rest days now I’m running for longer as legs felt a bit tired today.

Amazing things have been happening to my body! Since I started exercising in June (started c25k early July), my resting heart rate has dropped over 25 points from consistently high 70s to 50/51 the last couple of days. Not bad for a first time exerciser at nearly 50!

Can’t wait to graduate, hopefully Saturday (although I will miss Sarah Millican cheering me along!

I took them the first few weeks but then sometimes did 3-4 consecutive runs as I got further through. Just under 6 was to do the program if I finish on Saturday. Think I need the recovery days now though as been doing 5k for the last couple. The legs felt a bit tired today 👍🏻
