Week 8

I'm on week 8, run 1 now, week 7 and 8 I have definitely found the toughest and have been struggling! Im worried that after week 9 without the app my motivation will deplete. Does anyone have any similar apps to follow on?

I'm at the same stage as you. However I'm not running anywhere near 5k. I think that will be my motivation once I've finished this programme. I will want to get to 5k, not in an organised run but to run faster or for longer by myself. I'm finding it very challenging so need to be able to run with less difficulty I feel. Boys luck for your next run. I will do W8R2 on Sunday probably.

Like you I found wk7+wk8 tough but when wk9 came it was great something just clicked into place it's amazing. If you like the sound of someone in your ear just press repeat on wk9r3 until you find something else good luck 😊😊

I am at the same stage . I have decided to just find different places to run the 30 min run and just keep enjoying it my goal after I have finished ! Good luck
