Started week seven this morning building on the 25 minute run from the end of week 6. Twas tough this morning I went off a bit quicker that usual and found the last minute tough. But happy that I completed the run although as soon as Jo said slow down I hit the brakes.

Sore knee today though so Ice and elevation and keep an eye on it for Tuesday

Sounds like you are doing really well! I had my 3rd run of wk 6 yesterday! Went out at 6.30 because I knew it was going to be a warm day so think that helped. Good luck with week 7 but it doesn't sound like you will need it.

Hi I found it hard I might have to look at my route though. The last 4 minutes is now up hill and it hurts 😂

I have run 3 tomorrow and will see how I go i might have a lap around the block on the warm walk so I am starting the run earlier in the route so cut of the hill at the end. Sadly I can’t alter the route as there are hills in all directions but I’d rather hit them earlier in the run if I can.

Good you are getting through yours too at this rate we will both be on track to graduate in a couple of weeks! ( never thought I’d get that far if I’m honest!)

Not what you're looking for?
