W7R3 ✔️ Found My Running Pace

I reversed my usual route and what a difference that made! After the first 5 minutes, I just started thinking of other things and wondering if I was going to come off furlough, and then, before I knew it, there was just 5 minutes left to run 😳 I just couldn’t believe it. Looking at Strava when I finished, my running pace had improved and ran at 6.47 /km. I’m in shock as I honestly thought that I took it re-all-y slow.

Can’t believe that I’ve only got 2 weeks left 🥴

Well done! I did w7r3 this morning too. For me it seems like the second half goes quicker than the first altho I think I actually plod slower! So happy!

Good for you! Often it doesn't get easier, you put the same effort in without realising you're getting faster.

And you reversed your route. My brain won't let me do that. 🤯

Best of luck with your work. X

Thank you Speedy60. I guess because I graduated some years ago & I restart C25K each year, I’ve got used to what to expect but this did surprise me this morning. 😉
