Since I was going relatively slow last workout, I really pushed myself this time and ended up dying towards the middle. I was listening to the soundtrack to Run Lola Run and it didn't go with my running pace at all, music was too fast. So at the end of the 34 minute workout, I ended up nauseous, extremely tired and with swollen hands but I finished and ran when I was supposed to. 3 weeks left and I'm 0.72 miles short of the ultimate goal.
There's a new app update since Friday's workout; they added a play alert when there are 10, 5, 2 and 1 minutes left for the running intervals. Knowing how much time is left, I can now push myself a little harder towards the end of my runs. They also added a 30 and 45 minute run so we can run anytime we want after the program's over.
