W6r3: a scary one!! I’m currently camping somewhere else, and whilst it’s so pretty it’s also ridiculously hilly! I struggled with the hills I must say. Whilst I managed the 25 minutes though, I swear to god I had a toxic 15/20 minutes! I kept thinking it was gonna get better but tbh it’s was only in the last 2 minutes when I knew the end was near that things got better.
W7r1 (today): I managed it still! My pace had slowed a bit so I managed 4K today - which I’m happy with including the hills. I’m trying to keep in conversational but honestly I don’t think I can run a hill without using all my reserves!!
I really hope r2 and 3 are better from these runs; but at the same time I’m glad I’m managing a full 25 minutes

oh eek!! Here I can’t avoid hills at all any way I turn it’s very up and down so I’m hoping next week going back to flatter conditions it’ll seem easier.
Thanks and you too!! We’ll be in the penultimate week in no time
Sounds tough but you're doing amazingly well! I found W7R1 really tough but enjoyed W7R2 today. I think it takes a bit of time for the legs to get used to the idea that yes, we are going to keep doing this for 25 min! You're quick, too! I'm averaging a running pace of 7min/km on a good day, and about 3.7km of running in each session.
ahhh thanks!! yes I’m hoping r2 and 3 will be better - hopefully my body will be getting used to it! as for pace it really depends on each session I think I don’t think I’ve got my pace sorted so I vary so much
