Week 7 all done!

That last run felt harder than the 2nd run. I usually run first thing in the morning but had to do this one early afternoon so don't know if that made a difference? I still managed to up the pace for the last minute again (+1.5 mph) and I increased the incline of the treadmill from 1 to 2. That's my favourite part of the run as I really enjoy the extra work at the end... No idea what's happened to me! Lol

Happy running everyone!

Happy running to you philevans68, well done on completing week 7 of C25K, not long now until you graduate, good to know that you enjoyed your run today.

Onwards and upwards to week 8 which are 3/28 minute runs. 🏃 😊

You will do it! It's not easy but that's the challenge. You've got this far and, if you're anything like me, you've probably doubted you could but you DID! I'll see you at the finishing post, I'm positive about that and so should you be. You got this.

That's my thinking too... if I can push it at the end now I should be able to add the extra 3 minutes to the next three runs?

definitely, you've got it covered, just remember that you have those three minutes so save a bit of energy for them :D
