Hi all.

Can you actually believe we are on week seven and running for 25 minutes solid? It's crazy! The first week I was struggling to run 90 seconds! Yet here I am doing as run before work down the dual carriageway path with all the commuters sat in traffic on their way to work while I am running in the cold and on the frosty pavements with the beautiful sun shining down on me! 3 weeks untill we graduate guys! 3 weeks!

Very, very well done you! Keep it slow and steady and carry on enjoying.

These lovely longer runs let your newly found running legs find their own happy pace:)

I've just done my first Week 7 run and still find it hard to believe that we've made it this far, and it hasn't felt like a real ordeal! Dare I say I almost enjoyed this morning? Well done with yours, the end (or is it the beginning!?) is in sight :)

Completed wk7 run 2 last night and was wondering when the long runs start to get easier?, the app is advising it's not about speed but strenth and stamina. I hope this is as bad as it get's in a few month's time I would like to think these are warm ups!!

Week 7 run 1 tonight, snow permitting!! I’m with you. Each time I put my trainers on, it is with a sense of incredulity!! Me? Running? Never!! Yet here I am, doing just that. It’s still hard, but my motivation hasn’t waivered. So onwards and upwards. All the best.
