WK7 R2!!

Well that seemed harder than run1 on tuesday so I wonder if all the past runs are catching up with me . According to my stats on my Samsung health app I'm hitting the 5k mark so that's a bonus, but I'm beginning to feel it in my poor little legs lol. Rest day tommorow so I'v got time to access the situation 😁. Hopefully I'll finish wk7 on Saturday morning ,just hope my body let's me 😂😂. Happy running people 👌✌

Well done and don’t worry. I almost always found the second run harder than the first. Shrug.

Plus, if you’re hitting 5k already, that’s an amazing job. Way more than me.

If you need to dial back the pace to keep running, don’t worry, you’ll build it back up in no time.

Thanks for the advice charlie. I'll see how I recover the next day or so ✌

as suggested you can slow down, or give yourself a 2 day break between this run and the next one.

you are doing brilliantly

[Hidden in reply to backintime]

Thanks so much backintime. A 2 day break might be needed so I'll see how it goes ✌

Hitting 5K is some good skills mate, definitely assess on your rest day and think about an extra one, failing that just smash it as you have been and don’t forget you’re a superhero 🤪🤘🤪🤘

🤣🤣. Thanks rich , we're all superheros.

Well done mate, ahead of me again 😆 hopefully I'll get mine done this evening (my least favourite time to run, but hey ho!). Maybe even though you're super proud (rightly so) of hitting the 5k, if your legs are suffering you could slow it down just a smidge?

[Hidden in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

I think ya right lol. Just hope I'm ok for Saturday cause I'm in the zone of one day run one day rest . Good luck for later you'll smash it !!👌✌

Hi GMAN, well done on completing it and for smashing the 5k! I bow down to you, you running god! I can only dream of making 5k in 30 mins.

I think week 7 was the hardest week for me but in my case it was more in my head. All of a sudden there are no walk breaks and every run was longer now. Plus having done the 25 minutes in week 6 I found the week 7 ones tough because I knew what was coming if that makes sense?

The legs definitely felt it more too but my head made me focus on them rather than anything else which is why i had that run i had to abandon. Perhaps you could take two rest days just to give yourself a proper break?

[Hidden in reply to Lindsey-joy]

Thanks for your support Lindsey joy . Yep week 7 sure is a tough week but I'm hoping I'll be ok for Saturday. If not then Sunday it is. Never thought I'd be running like this 6months ago so its all good 😁. 👌✌

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

Wow. I’m not surprised your legs are feeling it! Well done, but don’t risk an injury, will you? I am in awe of you!

[Hidden in reply to MuddledGardener]

Thanks for your support and I'm hoping I'll be ok for Saturday. It's hard work this running lark 😂😂👌✌

[MuddledGardener Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It certainly is! 🥵

[TeeBedders Graduate]

You are unbelievable! 😁I second the two day rest between the next run if you’re feeling it a bit. Like you said though, assess it tomorrow! Doing fabulous gman! ☺️

[Hidden in reply to TeeBedders]

Bless ya Tee, your too kind .My mind telling me yes but my bodies telling me no 😂😂. I'll see what Saturday brings ✌.

[TeeBedders Graduate]

I don’t see nothing wrong with a little rest and time... (yes that’s the best I could do on the spot 🤣🙈)

[Hidden in reply to TeeBedders]

🤣🤣🤣🤣. That's brilliant 👌
