Well done, your getting through those runs now, that's your last with a walk, in between, but you'll soon get used to that, and maybe even prefer it. 👏👏👏

Well done, changing-woman great work! It's amazing what a good choice of tunr can do isn't it. I also did this run yesterday and I have to say I really didn't enjoy it. It seemed so much harder than any of the other runs. I managed it, but didn't get into a stride until the final 5 mins of running.Now we have no walking to interrupt the running.... Good luck for the next torture sessions... Erm, I mean runs. 25 mins next, I can't wait 😂😂

No no no no no changing-woman ! Five minutes more is easy, you already know you can run for five minutes, so just keep doing five minute runs without stopping in between! 😀

I’ve got lost on a few of mine! The 5 minute cool down walk turned out to be a lot longer 😁. Wouldn’t mind but I wasn’t a million miles from home!

Instructor57 profile image
Instructor57Graduate in reply to Frenc

Same here ! I just missed one turn whist listening to my music !

I sort of half recognised the place but have no idea how I got there 🤣
