Finished week 7 this morning and boy am I proud 😁 pushed myself a bit more this morning and managed to cover 4K in the 25minutes with a few hills - by no means was it easy 🤯

Only 2 weeks left to go now! I’m gonna miss having Laura in my ears but I know I can do it and join the fellow graduates 💪🏼🏃🏻‍♀️

Well done, that’s a cracking pace too!

Well done, you're so close to finishing! 4K with hills is really impressive!

I'm coming up to Week 6 Run 3 now and I'm curious, could you see much progression (in ease or distance) over the 4 25 minute runs?

To be honest my progress across each 25 minute run was pretty minimal! I started week 6 run 3 at 3.82 kilometres and over the 4 25 minutes runs this only reached 4K (Literally just 4.01K) today on the last one!

Although it doesn’t feel like you’re improving much in distance what is very noticeable in progression is how much easier you find the runs - not to say they’re easy though, but you find running for 25 minutes a lot more manageable!

That still sounds like good distance/speed progress to me, I've been getting slower each week!

It's good to hear that it becomes easier before you move up to a longer duration, I'm looking forward to that feeling 😀
