    Run a 5K in 8 weeks - Week 8 day 1

    Welcome to the final week of the Virtual Running Mate 5k programme. Over the last 7 weeks, you have seen your body and mind achieve feats you once thought impossible. Most of you have run longer than you have run in your life You body is stronger, your circulation is better and your breathing is much more efficient. You have already completed 5km with one stop and some of you may have already done a full 5km. If you’ve already done your non stop run, thats great you should find todays run a lot easier. This week we are going to go for the big prize, running 5km non stop. You have everything in you, you have worked hard to get here, and the body is now ready to pay you for all the time you have invested in it. We will revisit your 5km route and this time we will run it non stop. Because of the distances you will be running, we will only be running twice this week. The session run on both days will be exactly the same as such we will not have a day two podcast. Rather once you complete this run you will simply repeat it on day 2. You should have a route mapped out in advance to complete this session. The duration of the session will depend on the pace at which you are running but you should expect to complete it in less than 50 minutes.
