Week 8 done at normal speed podcast

I made it through week 8, although the podcast seemed unnaturally slow. No wonder I thought Laura’s directions were so dynamic! 😂 (I must say the music was more engaging played at a higher speed, though!)

My first 5 minutes uphill went fine, but when I had to run uphill again for the second half… that was HARD! I ran uphill with the pace of a walking duck, but didn’t stop. Grew wings on the flat and downhill portion of the road. Oh, and it was raining, but that can only have helped.

Next week is week 9! Unbelievable!

Well done I don't understand how you found the podcast unnaturally slow. Only one and an half hours to gradation. Keep up the good work.

Well, drun , that’s only because I’ve listened to it at a higher speed for some time, so that I got used to it that way. :) I must say it was very dynamic and very motivating!
