6.75 Miles

Hello!
Oh my god! That was tough training. My dad is a long distance runner- he's pretty good. So yeah he took me out on a run, really hard. Did intervals. 1/3 of a mile really fast round a grass track, 1/3 of a mile walking - with a 2.5 mile run there and back. My dad said that pain is good, and that you can only get better if there is pain. Regardless if I wanna just lay on the ground and watch the clouds lol. So anyway, as I did it, it did get easier.
6.75 Miles with walking in 1 hour 20 is a pretty good first start- considering thats the furtherest I've ever ran in my life. I know its going to get harder, but I'm determined to be running 10 minute miles soon, and hopefully I'll be able to run the Sheffield Half Marathon in 2 hours 30 :)

3 Miles tomorrow. Lets get running!
Love, Ellie.
