I found that run tricky !

I struggled to find my pace ,

However , W7 R2 and r3 were easier for me .

I think I set off too quick on w7r1

I seem to remember I did, which is a little odd considering it’s the same run as 6-3. Main thing is you got through it, well done 🙂

Yep... week 7 is harder than it looks. The runs are the same, but the weekly load on your legs is increasing every time. Great job beating a tough run... next one will be a little easier.

Yes I did! I really struggled to keep going. Chuntered the whole way round to myself 🤣... "this is pointless", "I'm never going to do it", "this is my last one"... then I finished - eventually and I felt great 🤣🤣 I thoroughly enjoyed the feeling after! I think for me it was the realisation that there were no more breaks, this is it. That run repeated then for the next 3 and the next 3. I enjoyed the mix of the runs the few weeks previous. But it's a different mindset.

I made sure I had better tunes for the next run to keep me going. I loved run 2!
