Did w7r3 today and it was hard work! After 10minutes I just wanted to walk home but I managed to carry on. I hated the whole 20minutes and the last 30 seconds felt like 30minutes. So only 4.5mins was ok. Oh Well it's done and dusted so on to week 8.

We all get bad days.

Have a good rest and I hope next run will be better

Thanks, yeah I feel better doing rather than thinking I should have gone out today. Week 8 starts Monday, I will just focus on that now

You'll get runs like that: some go like a dream but some go abysmally from start to finish, though it is true: any run is better than sat on the sofa scoffing marzipan chunks in an enmisered state!

Well done on keeping on with it. We've all been there, wanting to give up after a ten minutes. A week on Friday ago I wanted to go home after a minute and a half!

Good luck with week eight. You can do it! :-)

Thank you MY. Yeah I was loving week 5 and 6, then run 1&2 of 7 was great too so I wasn't expecting a bad run today. Oh well, like you say better than eating crisps on the sofa and beating myself up for not going out.

The good news is we carried on with the run, the old me would have given up.
