Week 7 confusion

[Ridders47]

I am on week 7 of C25K, and Laura says I need to repeat each of the 3 runs 3 times, but the plan on here and the app on my phone only has the 3 runs, I am really confused, how many runs I am doing in week 7.

Hi there, I'm on W7 and my phone app say 3 - 25 minute runs, each week is only 3 runs, so sounds like some confusion. Enjoy your runs

Thank you for clearing that up.

I'm using the podcasts as I can't get the app. I can confirm it's three 25-minute runs in Week 7. Hope they go well for you.

Thank you for clearing that up.

Welcome back to the forum and well done on your progress.

This guide to the plan is essential reading healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

and includes advice on minimising impact, stretching after every run, hydration and strengthening exercises, all of which will help.

There are three runs each week throughout C25k.

Enjoy your journey.

Just completed run 3 of week 7 after a weeks gap due to the outrageous heat last week!

Really hard to go out today but I need to finish this thing! I never finish anything so I must complete these last two weeks 🤣

@Beakie...That could have been me writing that! I always kick myself that I never complete anything after the novelty wears off, yet here I am at week 7...YET finding the hot weather an “excuse” (fair?) not to run.

But I completed WK7 Run 3 yesterday... and now we can’t use the weather as an excuse not to tackle week 8, can we?? 😁😬🙏🏼

(I’d also just taken a week off, btw)

[Beakie Graduate in reply to Luvlollyboo]

So week 8 run 1 on Wednesday?! I’ll use anything as an excuse (heat, tiredness, humidity, rain, itchy ankle) but must push on through! Maybe we can get these two week done together with a bit of mutual motivation 😂

In all honesty I just want to learn to like it, then be able to do my local park runs each week (when we are allowed) with another 5k thrown in one day of the week) that shouldn’t be too much to ask I hope 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

[Luvlollyboo in reply to Beakie]

Wednesday it is. Eeeek!!

[Beakie Graduate in reply to Luvlollyboo]

I’m heading out!

[Ridders47 in reply to Luvlollyboo]

Did you go today Luvlollyboo?

[Ridders47 in reply to Beakie]

Would love to join you, but I am a week behind, I will be rooting for you. I am thinking of doing the same, a park run, never thought I would be saying that, and a friend wants me to do do Race for Life with her next year, so will have to keep this up.

[Beakie Graduate in reply to Ridders47]

Ok so I did week8 run1. Phew!

[Ridders47 in reply to Beakie]

Well done Beakie, how was it? I will be doing it Friday (if I get up early enough) or Saturday morning, also thinking of trying a new route.

[Beakie Graduate in reply to Ridders47]

It was really ok, I tried not to go too fast, over all it was a little slower than usual, but I did it and I can see a 30 min run on the horizon soon!

Best of luck for Friday Ridders47!

[Ridders47 in reply to Beakie]

I got up and did it, and felt so much better for doing it, I am counting down my final runs. I will miss having Laura pushing me on.

[Luvlollyboo in reply to Ridders47]

Good luck too!

[Luvlollyboo in reply to Beakie]

Well done!!! I had to work 12 hours today... so tomorrow for me! Any tips?? 😬

[Beakie Graduate in reply to Luvlollyboo]

Get the gear on, I find if I get dressed to run then I feel stupid taking it off again without running 😂

It’s only 3 more minutes than the last run you did. Good luck tomorrow!

[Ridders47 in reply to Luvlollyboo]

Good luck Luvlollyboo

[Luvlollyboo]

Thank you! 🙏🏼
