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 ☺️

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.

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

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.
