Hi all, I’m new to the group. I’m on week six run three, today I planned to do the 25mins but have signed up to a twice weekly weights class at the gym. I completed the hour of weights (all legs 😐) and could only manage 10mins of running after. My legs were in bits. I’m hoping to complete the run Sunday to start week 7 Tuesday, but feel deflated that I couldn’t do it today. Has anyone else had issues with this lack of planning? 😔

I would definitely schedule weightlifting on your non-running days.
I'm not there yet. I haven't been able to add extra workouts in and still be able to do the running. It's just too much for me. I hope that once I graduate and my body is used to the 30 minutes of running, I can start cross-training.

I Do my running first then my work out.

Congratulations! That’s a good idea, it’s difficult trying to find time to fit it all in. Thanks.
Well done getting to W6R3. As @ToniCR suggests, you could try weights on your non running days. I do this to build strength and allow time for the legs to recover 🙂
