Wk7 R1 done... that was hard!

[philevans68]

I found this run really hard. I had no enthusiasm and just kept clock watching, hoping it would soon be time to stop! I only really enjoyed the last 3 minutes as I knew it was nearly done. When I was encouraged to up the pace at the end I actually did it this time. I upped my speed by half a mph for the last 60 seconds. Not a massive increase I know but, wow that felt great! I was buzzing when I stopped. Now I cant wait to run again on friday.

Hope you all have a great run today!

Well done Week 7 buddy! I have to run really early to be cooler. Impressed you upped the pace at the end, I’m not there yet! I’m running again Saturday as longer runs better with a two day gap for me and my hefty butt. 🤪

I run early too, usually around 6.30. No way I could do it when its hotter, even on a treadmill as my gym doesn't seem to be air conditioned. I'm still running very slowly too. Hoping I can work on speed later? See you after run 2!

Well done isn't it funny when you start typing a post of how hard it was then and the end you can't wait to do it all again. That's running for you it's crazy 😊😊

Well done... sometimes a run isn’t great, but at least you had fun at then end! Here’s hoping Friday’s is a little smoother.
