The Home Stretch
2 weeks to go!
We are heading into the final 2 weeks of your programme. Now is a good chance to reflect on how far you have come since you started with Extra Mile Runners and be proud of yourself.
Also think about how you can finish these 2 weeks strongly, what have you done well to this point? How can you keep your consistency up? And what next? Start thinking about what your next goal is after this programme.
In just over a week from now many of you will facing your longest run in the programme, this is the last hurdle to overcome before the 10k run day.
When we hit this long run make sure you have put all of what you have learnt into place, by doing this you will have a much higher chance of having a run that you are happy with 😊
