Week 7 done

[TigerLou]

I can’t believe that I have now completed 4x25 minute runs - week 6 run 3 and week 7 all 3 runs!!! This programme really works - so do stick with it. My dodgy knees feel it today but I’ll use the foam roller soon - it really seems to help although it is torture.

Week 7 run 2 was special. My daughter (who’s an Ironman) ran with me. A historic moment and I loved it! I was amazed that I actually could talk to her during the run as I don’t try talking to myself as advised somewhere here 😂. Today I didn’t take Laura with me as all runs in week 7 are the same. I just timed it all on the watch, recorded it in Strava and clocked up a PR for 1 mile, 2 miles and 1km! (Slow but for me a great achievement -1km 7.48 ) Distance is only 3.63k not counting the recovery walk at the end.

So bring on week 8!

Talking to yourself is fine. Getting replies when there's nobody else is around is not. 🤪

That’s fantastic TigerLou! So good to read stuff like this it gives me hope! 😄

I’d not have believed it at the start of July!

That’s really good. I’ve done the first two runs of week 7 but have taken 4 days off due to being away and being so hot. I’m running tomorrow and fingers crossed I won’t have forgotten how to run.

4 days off is ok - you shouldn’t have lost fitness in that time. Good luck! I’ve got week 8 run 2 tomorrow.

[Kashara Graduate]

Yes, you’re right, this morning’s run was fine, it was also much cooler today with the wind blowing sea spray in my face. Good luck with your run.

Excellent! Well done. Hot and slow today but I did it!
