Well I must say I wasn't looking forward to this run at all. I thought to myself halfway through what are you doing just stop! I didn't but my legs were screaming stop woman stop!! When I heard I only had 1 minute left a somehow got the strength to up my pace, which to be honest wasn't difficult as my pace wasn't great. Roll on W7 ๐Ÿ™„

Well done CI578, proud of you, youโ€™ve done so well. You ignored the voice in your head telling you to stop and what you proved there is that your body is capable of a lot more than it thinks it is.

Week 7 already, youโ€™ve come so far and your going to do this ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿป next time youโ€™re struggling just say to yourself โ€˜what would Bodie and Doyle doโ€™ ๐Ÿ‘Š ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿผ

If you find week 7's runs hard you can always repeat this one a few times. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Amazing well done! I repeated w6 twice after having to self isolate but actually helped to get me ready for w7 after that I haven't looked back, absolutely love running now and regularly running 5k 3 times a week, keep going you're doing great and you'll be hooked!

Well done, you're nearly there! Don't worry about the pace, just look at the 20 minutes and remember how far away that would have seemed on W1 run 1. You will soon be running for 30 minutes - fantastic!!!

You are awesome! The mental game is huge with running, isnโ€™t it? Some of my best runs have begun with โ€œOh. Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™m up for this.โ€
