W7r2 check

That was the best one yet. Cold almost gone and went from 9.30 per km on run 1 to 8.30 this time.  Still not fast but actually felt like I was jogging rather than staggering.  Also lovely view at the end 💃

That is stunning view well worth the run. A minute off is fantastic progress. You'll be doing 5km in under 30 in no time :-).   I am not sure of my timings I am currently re-doing week 5, unlike you I didn't keep my fitness level but I am improving with each run. I also have a new physio who has given me a whole new set of exercises, all of which are painful! He did worn me though 😀.

Hmmm...not sure I'll ever get to 5km in 30 minutes as I never have a sprint at the end of these longer runs.  When Laura says "1 min to go", my brain says "thank f*** for that" and not "Oh, OK, I'll have a little sprint" but that's OK.  Unlike you, I didn't up with a nasty injury so I have no excuse not to keep on with it.  Good luck with the exercises and I hope that get a little less painful!

Between you and I, I think the exact same thing! 😃 Doesn't everyone?

Just concentrate on the 30 mins...never mind the 5K.. that can come later...

Nice one, and a cracking view too. Helps when the sun is out doesn't it, feels less demoralising than wind and rain.  You are racing away from me now!

[barmybint Graduate in reply to LisaRose74]

It does indeed although I'm not sure how I'll cope if we have any hot weather?  Are you on week 6 now?

[LisaRose74 in reply to barmybint]

Yes due to do W6R2 tomorrow.  Have done it before but went back a bit after the lurgy!

[barmybint Graduate in reply to LisaRose74]

It's rubbish being ill!  I was out for nearly 2 weeks but carried on where I left off.  Good luck for your run x
