W6R2 :-)

I had dithered about whether or not to go out today as I knew I was quite tired, but having looked at the weather forecast for the next few days decided to give it a go and see what happened. Yes, my legs were definitely tired, but my mind was in a good place and it spurred me on. Now that didn't mean I managed to run any faster, though I did pass a walker which made me feel good/relieved, but I did finish the run in one piece, so I'm quite happy. I was itching for the walk break to finish so I could get back to running again, which has to be a good sign. Anyway, no more walk breaks for me as long as I don't need to repeat any weeks - all 'proper' runs from now on!

Well done, sounds like a great run if you were looking forward to running again!

Good luck for the coming weeks :)

Me again , we seem to be at the same stages! I also did this run this morning feel tired but had my daughters rainbows event in London and knew I would be walking all day so too tired to go out tomorrow, so I forced myself out at 6.30 and like you hated the walk as just found a pace , but then struggled towards the end of the second leg of the run and couldn't complete the last 30seconds. I did change my route today which included a few hills etc so don't feel too bad.

Good luck with the rest of your runs!.

No I wouldn't beat yourself up about that at all. Sounds a really similar run to mine. If I hadn't had my 'positive head' on today, I might not have got to the end of that second run either...

Well done Hennith. The next step is not as bad as it seems, and you'll be really pleased when you've done it - like when you finished W5. Think W5 and a little bit more.
