Me and Laura have parted company

Did my first run of week 7 this morning and decided to go with a mix of runkeeper and my own tracks.

I did miss her but running with runkeeper is interesting. For those who dont know it gives 5 minute splits of time, distance, pace per km, current speed and pace, etc.

The pace was very interesting as it dropped by almost 40 seconds per km from the first 5 minutes until the last.

Still shy of the 5k on my run (4.73km compared to 4.78km on w6r3) but hopefully Thursday will be better. Only 8 more to go.

Well done on completing the first run of week 7. There's no need to worry about distance at the moment, it's achieving the 30 minutes of running in week 9 that the programme focuses on. Good luck with your next run and best wishes.

Thanks fitmo. The 5k will come in its own good time.
