R2 for some reason I struggled , I'm sure it's the walking , it now puts me out of my rhythm . First 5 min of this run I thought , I'm not up for this today but then I got into a rhythm , & I wouldn't say I struggled , & even managed to speed up for last min . Thanks everybody for all tips & advice & can't wait for wk 7 .

Well done I did same run this morning and totally agree with you I have also tried going faster for last minute and am so surprised how much I love it Still frightened to go faster earlier in run cos panic in case can't complete run Let us know how you get next run

That's exactly how I feel about speeding up , I daren't early on , in case I can't complete the run . But when Laura said if u can manage it try to go a bit faster , I thought u know what , I can &. I did lol . Congratulations to. You . We did it ! .

That is great to hear! I'm on week 6 too and loving every moment. I can't believe how much I look forward to my run and the feeling after!

Aww, Rockette that's amazing. Well done you. I'm on Wk 6 R1 tonight after work and am a bit puzzled why it seems like a step backwards with the walking again. However, 'trust the programme' they say, 'trust the programme....'! :-)

Hi, i did that one yesterday and the difference was i actually RAN for the last five minutes! Couldn't believe it, i think that the point of the stages, to get you running for longer then getting you feeling confident about it so you can move on.

Glad you're on week 6 too, hope it went ok.
