I am a runner according to the app

[Papillon17]

What can I say on this lovely day, I did my Week 6 Run 3. The app told me I was now officially a runner. I can’t believe the progress made over the six weeks. Although now looking forward to weeks 7, 8 and 9 with in trepidation. Will I be able to consistently run 25 mins and up now for every run now. Today the total distance covered was 3.2 miles so pleased with that think I was melting when I got back with three pints of water and two bananas. Good luck everyone what ever Week your on but especially those starting Week 7.

My god you must have a phenomenal pace.....well done you!! 3.2mile = 5k achieved! Think these last 3 weeks will breeze pass for you 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That does include warm up and down but does give an idea how far you have to run. When doing it I believe I am going slow but at a consistent pace. We will see next week.

Might start Strava at beginning of run and see from there although will get a rough idea from google maps tomorrow

I live for Strava these days!

Well done! Yes, you're officially a runner now and nearly ready to branch out on your own and enjoy a lifetime of running.

I am due to do Week 6 Run 3 tomorrow. I found yesterday's run difficult Week 6 Run 2 which was 2 x 10 minutes yet when I did the 20 minute run in Week 5 i was fine. Not sure why but I have faith in the app.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Dianewig]

Take it nice and slow run with someone or have music to distract yourself and believe. I found Week 6 Run 1 hard, run 2 not so bad and run 3 after ten minutes wanted to give up. Just run through it slowed down listened to the music and kept going. You will do it.

Well done! You’re doing amazingly. I completed week 7 run one yesterday. Really enjoyed it but I only covered 3.3km in 25 minutes running! (Quite hilly though!) I think I’m quite a way off the 5k but I am running and it feels great!

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to StormyMonday]

Well done I am intending to do that run tomorrow and as it will be dark I expect to cover no where near what I managed in day light. I calculated I actually ran 2.5 miles or just over 4 km so really pleased with that out of the 3.2 miles covered.

[StormyMonday Graduate in reply to Papillon17]

Hope it goes well tomorrow. Looking forward to the light nights instead of dark running!!

Well done you. It’s a great feeling isn’t it ? I had to repeat week 6 after a nasty cold but, much to my surprise managed week 7 run 1 this morning. However, only managed 2.2 miles so yours is a great achievement. You really are a runner.

[Papillon17 Graduate in reply to Greysixty]

Thanks not sure how. Although I train with my dog for agility never thought I would run 2.5 miles non stop. Good luck with the rest of your runs only 8 to go for you.
