You don't *need* to fit the runs into a 7-day week - it can take longer. Extra non-running days will do absolutely no harm, people say you don't lose condition with up to two weeks off. So if you can't do week 8 run 3 for a few days, it'll still be there when you can! Consecutive days running, as a new runner, increase injury risk unnecessarily.

Hey Garden!! Well done you’re in W8!! Not long now. With a PT too it sounds as though tomorrow is going to be pretty full on. A run on Thursday might be challenging. I have had similar dilemmas when I’ve been due to work away. But, I’ve taken my kit and run very early in the morning and it actually set me up for a great day. I’ve done that several times now too! Wherever I am if it’s a run day, I run!! You’ve always got satnav to guide you home if needed. Or there might be a gym nearby and you can just do a day pass if you run on a treadmill. Enjoy the rest of W8! ❤️
