I am baffled as to how this plan works, but it blooming does! I have never run 6k without stopping in my life before, but today I did. Breathing was easy and I felt as though I could have carried on. Nearly fell over looking up to watch the Red Arrows go over again (they are doing lots of practice at the moment) but averaged 7.24/km with almost identical times for each km. I was definitely in the zone. Itβll probably all go pear shaped on the next run, but for now I am very happy ππ

Well Done Sandie, if you carry on that pace for your long run you will be running 10k in a few weeks. Be careful about watching the red arrows while running though, we donβt want you to run into a lamppost.
I used to work in Cyprus where they trained on their new programme. The best!
I would imagine theyβll be off back to Cyprus for their winter training soon, so enjoying them while I can. The weather is so lovely still - sunshine and blue skies! Not looking forward to the inevitable rain.
Good run and time. I find it hard to gauge starting pace when attempting a new distance so tend to be a bit conservative. Makes it easier to achieve PBs in the future though! I think that you have this under control.π
Thanks Beachcomber. I think today was just a pure fluke, but itβll do me for now π
Sounds like you had a great run there Sandie. Nice that you found the zone and held it too. It is amazing how the plan really works... weβll be running 10k before we know it π Roll on week 3 βοΈβ‘οΈβ‘οΈ
