🥵 That was tough!

Run 2 of week 8 was haaaaaaard!!!

Supposed to have done it yesterday but lost my mojo somewhere. Done though and on to run 3 on Saturday 👊🏼💥

Great job. Isn’t it annoying when your mojo decides to disappear ?! But you found it again.

You’re so close to the end of the programme. Onwards. You’ll be done before you know it.

Austin knows

Well done. Just try to relax into these lovely longer runs now. The newly forming running legs know exactly what they are doing.

All you need to do is keep up some core strength and stamina work, on some of your rest days, ( the rest of your running body needs to keep up with the legs), and then just enjoy.

No need for pressure, you are heading for that podium, where we will all be waiting to cheer you home.

Thanks. All done. I took your advice and relaxed into the final w8 run. Really enjoyed it! 🙃

Lost mojos are normally found in your running shoes when you step out of the front door while wearing them.

This made me laugh out loud , especially as I found my own missing mojo at the back of my shoe yesterday. I was astonished 😂.

You are doing so well, some runs we all struggle but fight through and keep going determination is everything.

Must be a week 8 run 2 thing … struggled through mine this morning. Weird how exactly the same run can be as close to enjoyable as a run gets on one day, and feel like purgatory on another 🤔 We did it though!! Yaay! 💪🏻🙌🏻👊🏻

Everything going on in our lives can impact on our performance as a runner. Restedness, hydration and nutrition are at the top of my list of variables that need to be optimised to enable enjoyable running.

Lots of us are finding it a bit of a grind this week. Regardless of how you found it, your legs still did that run. That’s something to celebrate!
