W7 R3 complete

Another interesting week, which is now complete. What I found fascinating, is that I woke up quite hyper (no, I'm not really a morning person, in fact, not at all!) after last night's bar of chocolate 😶, went out and just could not force myself to slow down as I initially planned. So, if I can say, this is a double surprise, firstly that I'm done with Week Seven, and, secondly, that I did my last run quite a lot faster than I thought I will be able to, considering lack of exercise and being quite overweight, too.

Best of luck, everyone!

A bar of chocolate the night before a run is not a recognised part of any training regime that I am aware of..............and it won't help with the overweight bit either..........but well done.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't help even if it tastes okay and has roasted hazelnuts in it :D

But thanks! I'm still quite surprised. I know that I used to do some running and nordic skiing years ago, but this gradual build up just feels almost _easy_

Hard start is what I think was the reason for me to procrastinate as long as I did. Wish I'd known about this programme at least a couple of years ago.
