Ran twice (and a bit more) round the local reservoir. Much better than running past all the takeaways and the pub 😁.Very flat so helped me to pace it. Pleased with my pace and felt comfortable all the way round ( I appreciate this isn’t about speed but it felt right)

Thanks to Sara Millican for being the coach that kept me going. And thanks to everyone on this forum - you are so motivating and positive.

Bring on the rest of week 7, then weeks 8 and 9 😁

You are doing so well !

I finished W5 on Tuesday and I managed but can't see me going further... that last run was tough !

Michael Johnson did say it was a big step up and suggested repeating W5 before going further. I think I'll do that.

That's an excellent time for 25 minutes Shakywakey, at that pace you will be among the 10% of C25K runners who can do a sub 30 minute on the final graduation run, I would advise you to do all your remaining runs around that reservoir, certainly not past all those takeaways and the pub.

Nice run... you got this.

My grandfather told me I should never pass an open bar... that’s probably why I don’t run roads πŸ˜‚
