Week 6 completed

[Ab23s]

After my nerves the other day I am so pleased that I managed to complete week 6 with my first 25 minute run. Thank you all for great advice and support. I changed my routine and went out to a park which was lovely. I also managed to keep my pace consistent for the whole run at around 7:14/km which I’m really pleased with. I can’t believe I’m into week 7!

That’s amazing! You can do it - because you’re a runner!!

Thank you so much! I still don’t think I can get my head around that!

I know! But we are - you too xx

OMG - Ab23s - you are going at a GREAT speed - kudos to you. So glad you enjoyed your fresh air and outside run - how difficult was to change from tredmill - some find it very hard!

I'm still in shock that I managed 25 mins (even if a snail could have gone faster!!!) LOL

You are too kind! It doesn’t feel fast at the moment but trying not to worry too much about it and just enjoy what I can do. I am still in shock too! Go us!

I much prefer it to the treadmill - I’ve done a couple outside but if in doubt I go to the gym. From now on I’m going to brave it outside more. Apart from when I went over the lake on the bridge and then my legs were not happy!

How was your there and back run? When are you thinking of starting week 7?

[primaballerina in reply to Ab23s]

My there and back was hard due to the up slope for the 10 mins repeat run. I was counting down seconds for every one of the last 5 minutes. A real struggle... which didn’t help my gremlin problem ahead of r3.

I am starting W7 on Sunday. I’ve had 1 day on 1 off since I started.
