3 x 25 min runs in 6 days. Legs are certainly feeling it

[runner56]

Finished week 6 with a 25 and have now did 2 runs of week 7 (25 mins) and I have to say my legs are aching a bit. I was glad to leave interval running behind but I can see the benefit of some walking/less running now!!

1 more run of week 7 left (scheduled for Saturday) and I might take 3 rest days.

Then again, I might be back to normal tomorrow and be ready to do it all again.

Bloody adictive this running malarky isn't it?

Well done, Runner56. You really notice the jump in running times, don't you? I certainly did too and have the odd ache as well. But, we'll get used to it soon enough I expect! Hope you feel less achey soon and well done on getting through the longer runs!

Thanks MY. Good luck tomorrow morning with run 3. Wish 4am a happy Friday for me. I intend to sleep till 7

Well done on these runs. As Laura says at the beginning of the week 7 podcast - these longer runs can start to feel a bit relentless. You will get more used to it though and the excitement and anticipation of getting closer to graduating will override the tired feeling in the legs. It's certainly a good idea to take extra rest days if you need them - it can pay dividends in the long term. See how you feel when the time comes to decide. I had a few days off but have now started running 3 days a week again - I think the break was really beneficial as I'd been losing motivation prior to that. Good luck with the last run of W7 and very best wishes.
