Moving on to week 8?

I've just completed week 7 but the last run was tough, I am unsure of whether to do another 25 minute run or move on to week 8, the thought of running another 3 minutes, 28 minutes in total seems really hard right now? What do you think?

Go for it, if you've finished W7 your body is ready, it's just the gremlins getting into your head that's the problem. Kick them out and you'll be fine.

Let us know how you get on.

Happy Running!

If you complete a run, move on. If you don't complete a run then you repeat it until your body is capable of doing it.

You will do it!

I'm the same I struggles with the last few minutes of week 7 runs especially the last minute. Seems impossible to be able to run another three minutes doesn't it. However Iv doubted myself every week so far haha

Good luck for week 8 xx
