Week 7 Completed!

Another enjoyable run to finish Week 7! On today’s run my sister accompanied me on her bike and we actually had a lovely chat whilst I ran so it was great for ensuring I maintained a conversational pace.

In fact, I felt like I was going quite slow but when I checked Strava at the end it wasn’t far off Wednesday’s run which I found really difficult because I went a bit too fast!

All in all I’m really enjoying my running and so excited to progress to Week 8🥳🥳

(also if anyone was wondering, the new trainers were a delight to run in and the mud came off without any hassle🤣)

Oh well done. Yes, my aspirational target post C25k is to regularly run and hold conversations while running as if that’s normal!

I feel like that’s such a good goal - 7 weeks ago I don’t even think I would have thought it could be possible! Well done to you on completing Week 8 as well!☺️

I got a pair of Asics (Gel Cumulus 21) as they were suggested to me via a virtual gait analysis! If you’re thinking of buying a pair of running trainers I’d definitely recommend having it done first so that the trainers you end up with carry a lower risk of injury and suit your running style☺️
