Having a week off is bad :-(

Well I had over a week off after W7R2 because of various factors but mainly a very hectic week. Anyway I told myself I was going to go today and finish week 7 but man my motivation was lacking. I kept telling myself I could just wait until tomorrow..Do other people get like this?! Anyway, after an hour of trying to motivate myself, I went out and it was an ok run (not as good as I had been doing) but I am just so glad I made myself go! Anyway, as I did struggle a little with the run after a week off, should I repeat week 7??

we all have weeks like that when real life just gets in the way of getting out there BUT you've gone back out when you didn't want to so well done :). I think if you succeeded in the run give w8 a try and see how you go.

Good luck with what ever you decide (there is no right or wrong!)

You made it, that's the important bit.

I wouldn't repeat it
