W7 R3 .... Hard

[XxicegemsxX]

So today I have done run three of week seven and struggled! I went out maybe 45mins later and it’s quite warm, I tried a new route which I did not think about the elevation on the first stretch. Had to stop and walk twice to catch my breath! I have been fine before but I think the mixture of heat, elevation and seeing over runnings zooming along put me off pace and I tried too hard. So I did complete and put an extra minute into the end to compensate! Do you think I need to repeat this or shall I move on? Any advice welcome 😊

I think you should continue to move on. I ran yesterday at lunch time and it was extremely hot, I turned around rather than continued my route and ended up running less than I would if I continued. It’s one run out of a long list. You can do it ☺️

Thanks you! The odd thing is as soon as I’ve got back it’s clouded over and got windy! Typical 🤣

You can repeat any runs or week's if you wish to, congratulations on completing run 3 of week 7, that run is the 4th /25 minute run, the other 3 were 6/3, 7/1 and 2, did you also walk on them as well?, if not you can go on to week 8 which are 3/28 minute runs, not long now until you graduate.

No I’ve always managed all my runs just this one I had to walk for a minute on two occasions to catch my breath, obviously not good with inclines and warm weather.

In that case carryon to week 8, the weather forecast is to get colder so you should be OK with run 1 of week 8 👍drink plenty of water the day before you run and also just before you run. 🏃🏾

I think it’s up to you on this. I’ve repeated a lot of the runs until I was happy with them and had done them without stopping. I’m on week 9 run 2 now so nearly there although my time is slow, just aiming for not stopping and going the distance first!

Good luck

Just completed run 1 of week 8 and it end t well! Your time is amazing compared to me 😂

We’re in sync - though you maybe into week 8 by now. I finished week 7 today. I think because the weather has cooled down a lot, I managed to keep going & even to speed up for the last minute- which I’ve never done before. Good running on week 8.

Completed day one of week 8 today! Hope week 8 goes well for you 👌🏼
