Started the bridge to 10 podcast with Samantha over a week ago and I'm really struggling with getting through the intervals (4 x 10 mins). Maybe it's the heat but it feels very difficult! Before I started this I was ok at going out for 5K but then I had a week of trying the speed podcast (which I gave up on - had to walk the 'slow' bits) and I think this has messed my routine up. I'm repeating week one as I haven't managed the full 10 mins on each of the four runs yet - seems I have forgotten how to run! On the plus side, I managed 7k tonight (with a few walks in between runs) which is the farthest I've even done so I'm really pleased!

So, you are running 7k in less than 10 minutes?????
Considering the weather, sounds like you're doing fine - way more than me anyway.
I suspect that's actually 7k in 4 mins running, but that's still nothing to be unhappy about! I haven't yet even downloaded the Samantha podcasts, despite thinking about it on and off since the new year...!
The heat truly is exhausting - it's not just an excuse. If you're getting out there and running at all, you're doing incredibly well.
Not what you're looking for?
