5k Training — W7D7

Stuck on week 7. I’m keeping this on repeat until I can run it with complete confidence. Today my confidence was higher so I’m headed in the right direction. Got through the first 15 minutes without a negative thought in my head and the second 15 was slow but steady. My average times are still […]
