So after 9 days off for personal reasons Iโ€™ve finally managed to get round to doing week 8 run 1 and I feel GREAT! Canโ€™t believe I can now run for 28 minutes๐ŸŽ‰ at first I wasnโ€™t sure if Iโ€™d be able to after having the 9 days off but itโ€™s all just a mental thing if you tell yourself you can do something then you will๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿผ

You're right running is about the mental challenges as well as the physical ones. You're unlikely to experience any loss in performance from not running for one or two weeks. When I've not run for a week and I felt no difference. Glad you are enjoying it.
