WK 7

WK 7 complete! I'm still enjoying it but it's still hard. Is it normal?! ☺️

Well done.

During the plan each week the demands step up to challenge you and so you tend to be working hard. After graduation, we recommend that you consolidate at 30mins/5k (whichever you achieve during the plan) for long enough for it to become comfortable, before thinking about working on increasing distance or pace.

If you tried W1R1 right now, you would no doubt find it very easy.

The longer runs do require a change in mindset as you get used to exercising for that duration. You may find distraction helpful, so that the last things you think about are time and the physicality of running. If music doesn't do it, try podcasts or audiobooks. I used to give myself a running commentary on everything that I could see, hear, feel and smell as I ran, in full florid sentences.

You can make any run easier just by slowing down..........it is in your control.
