I tried REALLY hard even though it was still super warm. Managed an average of 6.36 minutes per km over the 28 minutes running. And, towards the end I actually WAS running, not shuffling or jogging πŸƒπŸΌβ€β™€οΈ Week 9 here I come πŸ˜„

That’s brilliant especially in this heat. Super time too. I think I’m going to get up early tomorrow to try and avoid the heat as much as possible. Looks like you’ll finish next week in high temperatures

Good idea. I’d love to go out early but getting a 14 year old out of bed... πŸ˜‚

Thats amazing! I've just completed run 2 of week 7 and managed the same rate on this run. It seems impossible to imagine running any faster especially in this weather though so not sure how its possible to manage the 5km in 30 mins! Think ill be slowing down too once I start the 28 mins like you next week!
