28 minutes is tough, nevertheless you are not too long now away from your graduation run, try running in the early morning to avoid the heat πŸ”₯.

I'd love to run early morning but I'd have to be up at 5 during the week and I couldn't do it. Do mornings at weekends though and it's so much easier!

πŸ‘ But it's not advisable to run both on a Saturday and Sunday morning, number one rule on C25K is not to run on consecutive days. πŸƒ

Oh no worries there. It's either one or the other. Never both! I do like a bank holiday weekend though 🀣

Well done you. I agree 28 mins is tough. I'm taking mine so slowly I'll soon be running backwards. Im thinking - graduate then I can think about increasing the speed.

Well done. I’m planning to head out for that one tomorrow morning. Kind of looking forward to it, kind of dreading it. I keep telling myself it’s only 3 more minutes more than last time πŸ˜‚

It is only 3 minutes. Remember the huge jump to 20 minutes?

Yeah, sure do. Managed W8R1 this morning but it was pretty tough. That said, it’s all massive progress in a relatively short space of time.

Not what you're looking for?
