Wk7 Done.

That was tough. Did 3 different sessions - Tuesday night did 3 x 12 mins with a minute walk in between. Hardest run to date. Not sure if that was because it was after work, but the stopping actually seemed to make it worse as my calves REALLY tightened. R2 was Friday morning, did 30 minutes. Wasn't easy but was determined to see how long I could do in that time, managed 3.1k. R3 was yesterday. I'm doing the R4L at 11am on 1st June so someone suggested doing the run at the same time so I could plan breakfast/test the weather. It was hard, it was very warm, but Take That spurred me on and I managed 29 minutes but did 3.19k. Moving on to Wk8 tomorrow morning ..

I think you did really well to run ANY distance in that heat yesterday! You're doing brilliantly. Not long to go!

Brilliant run! You were one of the dedicated few out in the heat yesterday then? Good for you! Not long now!

Really didn't think I had a choice, with only 2 weeks to go and my normal training time being 6.30am when is nice and cool, I figure the weather could jump and its scaring me witless! So badly need to run this straight off, too many people have done a "i'll give you an extra £20 if you run the whole thing". Thanks for the v positive comments!
