W7R3 - best day so far!

I dreaded today as it was the 3rd run of 25 mins - the last 2 were not exactly great but I did finish them. In the end it was definitely the best run I have done so far, no stopping, I managed to get a good slow pace going and fell into it well. Did not take water bottle today but had chewing gum all the way. Might sound weird but one of the 1st tunes that came up today was Mud and Tiger Feet - the beat got me into a rhythm and I kept that the whole way. I even managed to run quicker for last minute and that is the 1st time ever. Really, Really pleased - going to have 3 days rest before attacking week 8.

That is great to hear. In my phone I have a boost playlist. Full of songs that make me feel like that most in repeat a few times so I can switch over and get that running boost when needed. Happy running. Rfc x
