Ran later in the day

Rather than my usual running time of 6/6.30 ish I decided to run a few hours later today and have to say that although I prefer running early I definitely felt better running at 10.30 and I then followed Run 1980's example and ran for 30 minutes instead of 25, I will revert back to running early on Friday and compare the times. Can't believe that 7 weeks ago I struggled through week 1, incredible to think I can now run for 30 minutes.

I usually run at night, I feel I do so much better then than when I do morning runs. Stick to what’s best for you as much as possible.

Firstly well done on runnin the extra 5 mins. Looking at your picture your very close to 5k so another well done. I’ve got my run after work at 4 and I’m feeling a bit tired today but hopefully that’ll refresh me again.

Just do what you need to for the runs..no more and no less.. the plan takes you on in a structured way for a reason... to keep you injury free. ! Don't run for any extra time... distance and speed come after Graduation...

Slow and steady not only gets you to the podium.. it takes you to the most amazing places too:)

Good job. It’s so much better running in the daytime now the little fu... oops, kids are back in school!

What Oldfloss said now... you know you got 30, no need to risk injury proving what you already know.

Not what you're looking for?
