Week 6 Run 1

[Sherbear1979]

Yesterday I did w6r1. After the 20min run on Tuesday my legs felt a little off (slight twinge in my knees and ankle) and I really would have preferred to have an extra rest day but it's going to be a busy weekend and then I wouldn't have been able to start week 6 until Sunday. I didn't feel the need to take four rest days so I sucked it up and went yesterday.

First 5 minute run was fine but the 8 minute and last 5 minute runs were hard. During the 8 min run I looked at my phone and when it told me I still had 3 minutes to go I damn near wanted to cry. I got through it though but never did get a good rhythm going.

Feeling a little stiff today but not particularly sore so it worked out okay. Now I'll have a couple rest days and continue on to week 6 day 2 on Sunday.

Happy running everyone!

Well done! The important thing is that you achieved it and didn't give up. I have just done w6r1 tonight so am at the same level as you. I too will be doing run 2 on Sunday so it will be interesting to compare notes,! Good luck! And remember.... You can do it and you will do it!

Well done! You got there and that is what counts! I'm tackling W6:1 tomorrow and breathing a sigh of relief after the 20mins this looks like it'll be a darn sight easier. Famous last words though eh?
