Did the last 25 min of week seven today. Very proud. Onto those 28 ministers next week. I still can’t believe I’m doing it. Me!! A total newbie to running seven weeks ago.

I had a quick look ahead to W7 (I just finished W6R2), the app suggests W7 are all 25's and the 28's start W8. Are you using the app, podcasts or something else? I'm confused now?

P.S. How did W6R3 go? Not dreading it, but I'm a little hesitant. Don't know why R2 went really well.

It’s mind over matter. I was dreading the 25 min run at end of week six but I’ve now done four of them to complete week 7.

Well Done! It's a biggy, how did they go? All great? Ups and downs? I get the numbers confused sometimes too, but usually the other way and I announce I've completed the one I'm about to begin! Thank goodness for edit!

Each 25 min was ok. I had to admit I was glad when Michael told me to stop running!! 🤣 but I’m thinking just another three minutes to add. I know I can do it. It’s all in my head.

Bring it on. I’m telling myself it’s just an extra three mins but I’m always so glad at the end of 25!!!

I’m exactly the same!! I look forward to going out, love the feeling when it’s over - but don’t enjoy the actual runs yet 😂😂😂

Me neither. Everyone says I will but I don’t think so. I like finishing them but not doing them
