Re: Where in the world are you, and where do you run?

I run (well jog...) in Oslo, Norway. Im starting week 8 tomorrow. It's nice and light this time of year so running in the evening is perfect. Not sure how it will be in november, but surely all this running should improve my cross country skiing too, so i might focus on that from nov/dec till april/...

Re: Week 4

You can do it! It seems like an enourmous amount of time, but the ap is built in such a clever way that you will manage. Promise :-) i'm in week 7 and its all long runs from here and out. I never thought i could manage this but i really do. It's hard, but i manage. Good luck to you!

Re: Week 6 - horrible!!

It's really helpful for me to read this thread. Week 6 has so far been though for me. I repeated run 2 today as i didn't manage to complete it friday. However today i managed, will try run 3 on tomorrow and then be back on track with the schedule. Really comforting to see that it's not just me. :-)

Re: Help with Week 5 Run 3, please!
