Yey I’ve finished W7 and I am still alive (just!!) sore twingey right knee dire left Achilles and a bad back but I did it!! But what a slog - boy it was hot! I’m still only at 3k or just over then walking the 4th K but at least I’m doing it! Goodness knows what W8 will throw at me!! But I have to keep doing it because my son put me Now Running on my phone! And I bought some running tights (what an awful concept that is - why not leggings?!) 2 pairs! Now that’s commitment! Does anyone know if you can use the running app abroad? 🏃‍♀️

Brilliant - well done! Am a few weeks behind you, but gives me a lot of encouragement to see others making progress too :)

Well done you!! W8 awaits!!

Shouldn't be any issues using the app abroad, only a problem if you try to download it overseas.

Are we both doing W8 somewhere unspeakably hot?

I’m off to Italy for a week - it is hot! I think I will try to run early although I am an evening runner usually! I will be running by lake Garda - how about you? 🌞

Granada. On top of the hill where the Alhambra is. 30 degrees. Probably not humid. But oh blimey those hills....

Lake Garda will be awesome. Quite a nice part of the world :-)

Congratulations Pancakes!

Now that is 4 consecutive 25 minute runs.

Your mental toughness is admirable.

Good luck with week 8.
