When we started running together, our longest jogging interval was one\u00a0minute. You are now doing 60-70 times that rather comfortably. \u00a0The coaches are here for you. Let us if know if\u00a0you\u2019re having trouble. Each of our coaches have a lot of running experience and they truly understand the psychology of the half-marathon distance. At this point in our training,\u00a0our hardest work is convincing ourselves that we can run 13.1 miles. It\u2019s a mind game and the mind is a powerful thing! Try to start playing the tape over in your head that says\u00a0\u201cI can do this\u201d. When doubts creep in, turn off that negative feed. \u00a0We do believe you can do this. \u00a0We are down to our core group now and we believe in each and every one of you. The next few\u00a0weeks should be a lot of fun! \u00a0Seriously!<\/p>\n<div class=\"\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><b class=\"\">Route this week<\/b><\/div>\n<div class=\"\">This week\u00a0we are \ufffcrunning an interesting route through the Brompton Cemetery to finish at Whole Foods in Kensington. We\u2019ll head down to Hyde Park in the normal fashion via Lisson Grove\/Seymour. As we near Wellington Arch, we\u2019ll veer to the\u00a0right (or west) staying along the inside edge of the park. exiting at the gate we normally use at William Street [next to the French Embassy]. \u00a0Cross the street, take a right. \u00a0Turn left at Brompton Road (just past the tube) and take\u00a0Brompton all the way (admiring Harrods as you pass) until Fulham Road. \u00a0Veer left on Fulham Road and continue to Brompton Cemetery. \u00a0Turn right to enter the Cemetery.\u00a0\u00a0Run through the Cemetery then exit and turn right onto Old Brompton Road, then turn left onto Earls Court Road. Cross Cromwell Road, then turn right onto Cromwell Road\u00a0and then turn left onto Marloes Road. Continue north on Marloes making your way through the streets to Kensington High Street. \u00a0Whole Foods will be to your right. Whole Foods is a great place to finish. There is plenty of room for\u00a0everyone to sit together for coffee after the run (if you have time). To get back to SJW, some people may\u00a0decide to share cabs or you can tube home from Kensington High Street station (Circle Line).<\/div>\n<div class=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1729\" src=\"https:\/\/womenrunningtheworld.com\/beginners\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/WholeFoodsKenBrompton.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"415\" height=\"542\" srcset=\"https:\/\/womenrunningtheworld.com\/beginners\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/WholeFoodsKenBrompton.png 415w, https:\/\/womenrunningtheworld.com\/beginners\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/WholeFoodsKenBrompton-230x300.png 230w, https:\/\/womenrunningtheworld.com\/beginners\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2017\/02\/WholeFoodsKenBrompton-291x380.png 291w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 415px) 100vw, 415px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well done on running 70 minutes on Thursday! \u00a0You may not believe us, but the hardest part is behind us. \u00a0Once someone can run an hour, bumping up a session 10 minutes\u00a0each week is not a significant jump in terms of fitness\/cardio requirement. \u00a0The hard part is learning how to run and building a base. &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/womenrunningtheworld.com\/beginners\/2017\/01\/22\/2016-17-beginners-week-22\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">2016-17 Beginners Week 22<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1728","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-beginners","without-featured-image"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.4 -
