Week 7 done.. should I repeat?

I have a guilty conscience. On run 2 of week 7 I walked for a minute half way through the 25 min run. It was 24 plus degrees and I just couldn't keep going. So, perhaps I should repeat. Run 3 was fine this morning by the way. Very warm but I managed it.

There are 4/25 minute runs altogether, if you ran 3 of them non stop with the one that you walked for a minute I would just go onto week 8.

Oh golly, I really think we can let you off for that 1 minute walk in the heat and pat you on the back at the same time. Sounds to me you are doing brilliantly. Keep it up! 👍🏼

I think it depends on your personality. I would do another 25 min run. You don’t need to but...😂

Only you know how significant that pause was, so only you can make the decision.

It is wise to avoid running in 24 degrees of high humidity.

Yes, .. it is my decision. I think I should repeat in lower temps. I always do alternate days, so won't miss much time. Thanks for the encouragement Delly dot. Thanks, all ;-)

I had a guilty conscience during my C25k when I realised I’d inadvertently skipped a run. I could not progress without going back and doing it, then I felt happy to continue knowing I’d done everything properly! You must do what you feel is best.

Is there any chance you can run when the temperature is not so high?
