Week 7 complete!
Had a rubbish W7R1 on Monday due to walking the length and breadth of London over the weekend - blisters and sore muscles galore!
Last run of the week was definitely my best so far (even if I did eye roll at being told I was only half way through) but managed to keep the pace up, increase my speed and distance (all splits under 7mins!).
Started using runkeeper around R6R3 (or whenever you start doing runs with no breaks?) and find it's a really great motivator 🏃🏃🏃
Why so fast.... well done, but...this is great journey.. why rush it?
Wasn't trying to be quick, it just happened!
Well.. as the runs get longer you can pace yourself.. it is all too easy to end up on the IC... take care
Flippin 'eck that's fast! Don't forget that right now, the emphasis is on completing the programme, not running 5k. You can work on increasing speed once you've graduated - but well done - I'm in awe!
You are right.. this ain't a race...it is a journey, and we try to get everybody to the podium, injury free
and having suffered so many knee and lower back exercise related injuries in the past, I am hugely impressed with this programme. I'm running 5k twice a week (sometimes even three) and my knees and shins are doing well. It's definitely about listening to your body. If my knees or shins are a bit tweaky, I don't run that day - and it's paying off. This programme is amazing.
Thanks so much for this. Have downloaded it today x
