Week 7 Run 1 done...

10 Replies

Another run under my belt. Felt more comfortable during the 1st 12 minutes this time and then the last 5 minutes. Increased my speed for the last 2 minutes and taa daa... run finished.

Can't believe I've almost finished this programme, running 25 minutes non stop and being able to run multiple times around the playing field now. Happy days!

Well done 👍nearly there now. I'm only one run ahead. Maybe just a fluke but I am also finding the 7 s a little easier and more enjoyable! 😀

Increasing speed Taa Daa indeed. Well done you...👍👟

Ahh yes!!!! :) Great Job!! Those days of not even making it around the field one time are long behind you now!

Thank you. Oh I remember those days of wishing and now how great I feel being able to run round it now, not once but twice in the 25 minutes, in time to come even a few more laps.

Wow you've almost finished. Awww congratulations, you're doing brilliantly aswell. I guess it's in the back of all our minds what we're going to do when we've finished. I for one intend to keep it up. And this forum won't get rid of me that easily.

I’ve found an app called 10K runner I haven’t downloaded it yet or looked at it properly cos I’m not at the stage yet but it might be useful for people who are ready to move on

Well done Donna. Week 7 was my favourite- all down hill to graduation now!
