Week 8 Complete!Wasn’t sure how this morning’s run would go, having had my Covid booster and flu jags last night. It was frosty out there but not too bad under foot. Got my 4th 28min run done and now on to Week 9, my final week on Couch to 5K…

Good going, Brian, given all your upsets this past week. I did my week 9 run 1 this morning. I thought I was doing fine but it seemed to be a slower one for some reason compared to the last of week 8 but sure, it’s done and I’m one run closer to the finish now, as are you…. Bad weather predicted for the big one on Saturday for me 🤨

Way to go! A couple of runs behind you and getting more from each outing. I have realised that 30 mins is now within easy reach and setting myself a target for running 5k….more like 37 mins at my current pace. Don’t seem able to speed up yet, how about you?

I’d be over an hour for the 5K at my current speed. But will be so happy to get to the 30min target. Then I’ll start thinking about distance. Then when I get to 5K I’ll start to think about times. From what I’ve been told my speed should increase naturally anyway as I get fitter.
