So my mojo went awol last week and my bum was too comfy on sofa watching madam secretary! Dragged my lazy mojo-less bum out the door this morning to (hopefully) complete week 7. Run 2 for me was a disaster and really put doubts into my mind as to whether I could go much further but I’m happy to say that I completed week 7 today!! No stitches, didn’t need to stop but legs did feel alien to me in the last 5 minutes and all power seemed to leave them but I powered through!

Anyone doubting like I was, just get out the door and put those gremlins to bed once and for all!!! I’m only 5 mins away from running 30 mins non stop!!! Wooo!

To be fair the last 5 mins today I didn’t know if my legs could do it, they just felt like they were empty of energy!

Slow it down a little more, and then think when you get to that point next time...think of doing 1 more minute, then at the end, just one more minute....then you will have done 27 minutes, and wont want to not do the last minute...

Only 5 minutes to go, well done you for kicking the gremlin into touch.

You can do it! Let us know how it goes, but I expect after your rest day you will be able to do it just fine.

Not what you're looking for?
