W7/R2 Done.

13 Replies

Not easy but I'm happy with that run. The last 5 mins is still a real struggle for me.

I do feel very comfortable with my running now, looking forward to graduating, but I'll see how run 3 goes and then I'll decide if I'm ready for 28 min, or have another 25 minute run.

I'm very happy today.. Today my BMI is 29.9 So I'm off out tonight to celebrate being overweight.

Happy running everyone, and enjoy your weekend! 😄🍻🏃‍♂️

Congratulations. I am in awe. I’ve only just completed W2R1. Can’t imagine running for 5 minutes at a time, but then a week ago I didn’t imagine i’d be able to run for 90 seconds without stopping either!

Have a great weekend. 😉

Thank you.

I've really enjoyed it, i'm actually a little jealous of people who are just starting, it's a fantastic journey. 😃

You may have to consider moving on to the bridge to 10k programme!

Definitely, that's the plan.

Thanks UNM, the people on this forum have been really supportive, made the whole experience a lot more enjoyable. Truth be told I'm actually getting a bit addicted to this forum. 😄

It’s an amazing place... I’ve not been on as much as usual in the last couple of weeks, and I’ve missed it.

Very well done mate, liking the splits, your in cruise control.

Thanks buddy...Yeah, I think looks can be deceiving, it looks nice and controlled... It wasn't, I was really struggling towards the end. 😓😄

Go you.

After week 5, I understand what you mean about feeling comfortable. I feel more relaxed and I’m enjoying myself.

in reply to Emlist29

Yeah, that's exactly how I feel, I'm just really happy where I am. There was apprehension at the beginning, that's completely gone.

I like your attitude! Happy running to you too!
