I did mine earlier this evening after work - the last two weeks I have found them quite hard, and I think they have been a little slower than weeks 2 & 3, but still faster than I’d run normally. That takes me to the end of week 5, so halfway though now.

I've not ran for 9 weeks now and I probably won't for a few more either, then at the end of May I shall be fitting a new kitchen so I won't have time, if I'm mended by then.

Having returned to work, at the moment I can’t put in the time required for three runs a week of the duration required. I know that I can play the joker for runs I can’t do, but that would be at least one a week. Anyway, I retire on May 7th so I’ll rejoin then. I’ve enjoyed the Project so far and want to complete it.

Welshpoppy Apr 2021 8:29am, 9 Apr 2021 843 posts	0 Welshpoppy That makes sense ER and not long to go either. I binned idea of the intervals as yesterday Achilles was stiff and sore.To make it work for me I think I can alternate weekly between tempo and intervals, so one a week rather than two sessions.So it may take 20 weeks rather than 10 weeks?
