W7 R2 yaaay :-)

[deviate66]

Today I completed R2 of week 7. How surprised am I? After just a days rest in between, I was doubting I would manage this. I thought I was running slower, but when the Laura called the last minute I was actually about 50 yards or so further up the road than my first run suggesting I was actually a tad faster.

Sat in the chair now, I don't even feel like I have done a run. I guess this means the old bod is getting fitter if I can recover quicker. Amazed to think that there is only 7 runs to go to graduate...! Here's to keeping with the program and I guess like many others reaching this point one wonders what to move onto next? Weighing scales also suggest 1st 4lb lost to date since starting the program...

Well done. Good to see so many enjoying the programme. I'm just under a week ahead of you (I have Week 8 Run 2 to do tomorrow morn).

Addictive?! Seriously. Might I suggest a book I'm reading ... Born to Run by Christopher McDougall.

Keep on running.

Take care now, slow and steady.

Well done deviate66 - you will be graduating in no time!

[getfitgran Graduate]

You're doing great. Just a couple of weeks to go to graduation. And congratson the weight loss that is fantastic

Congrats! Good feeling to find you've gone a bit further than last time even if you felt you were having a slow run isn't it?

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

There you go - nearly completed week 7 already and definitely coping well. Well done - no need to doubt your ability to keep up with Laura!

Weight loss is impressive in just 7 weeks!

Wow, well done you. I'm also on WK 7 and just about to do R2 I've been concerned about my speed as all I seem to get are people overtaking me I'm 50 + and over weight so I guess it will take time, nearly lost 2st though.

Well sounds like we're almost in the same boat. 49 and yes started off being well overweight too. Yep I also get the stealth like runners slipping past me as well. Just ignore them and keep on going at a pace that suits me. Like most skills in life, we all start from nowhere but with patience, effort and application I am sure we can achieve a lot more than we think. W7 R3 tomorrow for me..
