W7 run 2 but did sort of go against Laura's advice.

Well, I started week 7 yesterday morning and did my run at 9am. I found the run really good and took a different route along the seafront.

After a rather relaxing day of ironing and taking the boys swimming I felt like going out for another run, so I went out this evening at 17:00. I told myself that I had had a days rest as more than 24 hours had passed. Is this wrong?

I enjoyed my run and don't feel too bad at all.

I think I am either starting to enjoy running as it gives me a little me time or can't wait to order my C2 5K graduates T-shirt. It has also refocused me with my diet as I am following slimming world and had sort of lost my mojo, but now I feel much more motivated to get back to target.

Is there ever a time when we can run more than 1 day in a row or do you always have to have a rest day in between?

Well done on making such a great start to week 7. I did my grad run this morning after completing W9R2 yesterday morning so exactly 24 hours in between as well. I loved it and feel fine too, but not sure how much of a good idea it would be to run every day. Yet many runners do. When is the point when you can afford to miss a rest day or two to get more runs in? So I'd like to know the answer to this one too

I don't know the answer to this, but just wanted to say - congratulations on graduating Fraz

Congratulations on graduating Fraz, at least I know I am not on my own, technically we had a rest day didn't we?

some weeks I do two or three days in a row - I never ever push it but if I feel okay I go for it! I wouldn't do it every day every week and sometimes I might have two or 3 days off after. You know your own body so I'm sure you're fine, just know your limits and know when your body is too tired!

It's exactly the same as doing an evening run, skipping a day, and hen running in the morning I think - so go for it, but not all the time
