It took me over a week to complete week 6 since was away with the grandchildren but I've just done a 25 min run and I cannot believe it. Feeling elated.

If I can do it anyone can. Pace yourself

I've not ran in the rain yet. Too much of a wimp!!! Well done to you also. I found my thighs were feeling heavy towards the end and actually sort of sprinted for the last 30 seconds

That’s great managing to increase your speed towards the end.I too found myself doing this today.Went for run in pouring rain & got drenched through to my underwear & mascara running down my face lol...but...I loved every minute of it lol.It’s the most enjoyable run I’ve had.Good luck for your next run on week 7.

I may need to try running in the rain since it sounds fun. Brings back memories of childhood when my mum would call me in when it was raining. My challenge is to complete a greater distance during week 7
