Grizzly W6R2 !

After all the scare stories surrounding week 6 I was surprised and feeling quite smug about my w6r1 performance.

That'll teach me!

The first 10mins of run 2 went ok, (my smugness was still smuggling).

Then came the second ten...

After five mins my legs felt like logs! I slowed down and plodded on. By the time Laura told me I had one minute to go I was just about jogging. One minute has never felt so long! I've never been so grateful to hear the word "walk" in all my life.

Yes, but you did it!

Still, it shows you have more than one pace - faster and slower - and can adapt as you need to. I tend to find I start off too fast, even when I know I'm doing it, but if I can hold myself back at the start, it goes much better. Hard though, when feeling all enthusiastic and smug!

Bit of a shock to go back to noticing a whole minute being long again though!
