That was a hard one, I felt a little warm before starting so wasn't too surprised when I started sweating earlier than usual I was surprised on the amount of sweating though, I was sweating more than Jimmy Carr in tax court, it was that bad.
At one point I lost my breathing and had to make a concerted effort to get it back under control, then about 16-17 minutes in I felt sick, I admit, I did slow to a brisk walk until I got over the initial sicky feeling but then resumed normal service but I completed the run and I added double the time I spent walking (I added an extra minute to be sure but it was no more than 30 seconds walking) I finished the warm down walk and then had to sprint.
So I have a stomach bug, brilliant, I did finish W7R1 if you don't count the 30 seconds I had to walk to avoid being sick (BUT I did jog for an extra minute to make up for it).
That's why I felt hot to start with, why I was sweating earlier and more than normal. I hope this thing passes quickly, I have targets to meet (graduate C25K) and work to do (regulate my outdoor pace).

Haha! "Sweating more than Jimmy Carr in tax court". Love it 😂
Sorry to read you're not well but hopefully it'll last for a few days only. Stay hydrated and take it extra easy on your first run back as these kind of bugs can take more out of us than we realise.
It sounds very unpleasant! Let yourself take enough time to get over it please before your next run! Good job though. Week 7 was tough for me mentally - just long runs that seemed tiring- so consider new routes etc to add interest!
After week 5 run 3 I haven't had any issues to be honest, the fact I broke the psychological barrier after that run has freed me, I have no issues running for 25 minutes, on W6 R3 I actually found it easier to do 25 minutes than it was to do the 20 minutes!
I would love to vary may route but I have been doing this on a treadmill as I can't regulate my pace outside, I want to go slow/steady but my body thinks it should be doing 9-10kph; whilst I can maintain that for 5-8 minutes I would really struggle to maintain it for more than that.
I will, however, work through that, or get to the point where I can maintain that for at least 30 minutes.
And all thanks to the help I get from the people on here, my thanks to you all.
Already on my second bottle of water plus a cup of green tea, nurse. I really want to complete the program and I will, I don't really want to delay my scheduled runs but will do if I don't feel up to it.
Thanks Jan, there so many other sweating jokes I could have chosen at the time but I remember this one, from Jimmy Carr's own mouth actually from when I went to see him.
I'm going to see how I get on in the morning with W7R2, I soo want that Graduate badge at the side of my name.
