Finished week 7

[nhs2015]

Just finished Week 7. Yeah!

My total 35:36 minutes included warm up/cool down walks. I did 3.8km at 9.15 minutes per km.

Taking the walking away, it works out to around 2.8km of running in 25:45 minutes. Close enough anyway.

With those three runs, I found my speed got better by a few seconds every time. This time it was actually 10 seconds. The most I ever had. It means a lot to me.

Because I could manage a boost of energy for the last minute, I should be able to do the extra 3 minutes of week 8. No worries, right?

Hey good stuff ! You absolutely can do the extra 3 mins and then you'll be doing more and more. I started about a year ago and couldn't make my legs respond for the first 60sec run. Weds night I ran for 60minutes ! It's amazing. Keep going , you'll love it!

Sounds very positive and you seem to be enjoying this which is the main thing, don't worry about speed and times....just do the work and you WILL do the next 3 and 5 minutes no problem at all. Enjoy

Exactly! I'm currently doing week 7 and having Laura spurring me on at the end to see how much I've got 'left in the tank' really makes a difference. Very clever!

It is amazing when you think about it. Muscles feel sore, out of breath and suddenly for that last minute, it's all refreshed. Obviously all in the head!
