Funny how some runs just left us feeling deflated and some runs on the other hand leave us smiling ear to ear.

You did it though so still a run under your belt and well done to you.

I can't run if it's warm. I get up at 6am to run, also have loads of energy then rather than later in the day. I'm doing W7R2 tomorrow morning. Ah well, draw a line under this one and move on! Only 8 more runs to graduation! Whoop whoop! πŸ˜πŸ‘πŸ˜

I think you’re doing brilliantly! I’m only on week 5 and some of the runs have really challenged me. I have Michael Jordan as my coach in my ear and I keep in mind what he says, something along the lines of β€˜if you can keep going when you’re really tired and feeling it, then you’ll really push your fitness to the next level’. Keep strong πŸ’ͺ🏼 you’re doing amazingly! πŸ˜€

That does happen, some are good, others, not so good, I find it better running in the morning, I am retired and can understand why some can only do their running in the evening. I completed run 2 or week 7, that 25 minutes run around a loch near to where I live. The weather was lovely and sunny temp about 12c with a cool east wind blowing across the loch, however, if I had run this afternoon, who knows, the run might not have been as good as the temperature is supposed to go up to 24c.
