I did it! I tried a bit faster towards the end but my legs weren't having it. Still onwards and upwards.

Well done Basil73, not long now until you graduate, only 8 more runs until you graduate, take all those runs a little slower than you did today, no need to run faster towards the end, it's not a race. 😊

Thanks for that but when I checked Strave my run was not at all consistent. Sometimes it looks as though I stopped but I didn't. Maybe it's because I don't have a straight run I have a few times when I have to turn around. Any suggestions?

When you run make sure that there are no trees blocking the Strava signal, if you run among thick trees or even high buildings the result will be that Strava thought you stopped running, make sure there is a clear signal for Strava to operate correctly. ✔️🏃‍♀️

Thanks for that. I now have new shoes and intend to take it easy and enjoy it.
