Completed week 8 on Saturday night which felt great, I'm not sure what other peoples opinion is on this but i found for week 7 and week 8 I changed the plan slightly.
Week 7 is meant to be 3x25Mins
Week 8 is meant to be 3x28Mins
I've found that doing 25,26 and 27Minutes in week 7 and then 28,28 and 29mins in week 8 for me worked very well!
Personally I've found that moving from week 7 to week 8 and now to week 9 seems like less of a jump.
Its something to think about!

Good point DC1995, too late now for me regarding week 7, I completed all those 3 runs and run 3 of week 6 in 25 minutes, but it as given me an idea regarding week 8, yes perhaps I could run two 28 minute runs and the third one at 29 minutes, I will try that one out, less of a jump indeed.
Sounds like a plan. Although I’m not brave enough to deviate from whatever Michael tells me, assuming he leaves the pause button alone.
I found the biggest job mp to be week 5 run 3 (is it) where all of a sudden there’s no walk in the middle. But now it’s just a question of trotting along until I’m told to stop.
Haha, I use the app but also have a countdown set on my phone, so for week 8 R3 which is 28Mins i set an alarm for 34 Minutes (5Min Warm Up+ 29Minute Run) and just Ignore Michael telling me to stop and just push myself for one more minute.
And yes, Same! i found W5R3 a challenge then also W6R1 a real struggle too!
I've taken a slightly different approach and just pushed a tiny bit faster on my Week 7 run 2. Not sure if I'm going to be doing it again for run 3 tomorrow though.
I might use your alarm trick though. Laura keeps dumping me just before I finish running...
