hi,
I almost can't believe i did it, but i had at least two hilly 7 miles behind me, so thought it was time for 8.
I went on a fairly flat just over 2 lap course and got to 3 miles in about 42 mins, walked for 3 minutes and kept that up through the run - walking one minute per mile... I got to 10k in 1:26:59 (then walked for 3 mins) which is not that bad for me and passed my total minutes on my feet running at 1:50 something...
The whole thing took me about 1:54 something, in 14.13 min miles overall - my only pause was picking up another bottle of water from the car... so this sets me up for my 7 mile race in two weeks...
my legs started hurting a tiny bit at just before the six mile mark so i walked two minutes and then managed to finish fairly strong.
I don't know if your legs are meant to hurt a bit when you start getting your distances up or maybe aren't quite used to the distance...

Congrats!!! 8 miles is awesome! When I reach a new distnace, I can feel it in my legs..it is more of a tired feeling than pain though.
Well done!
