Week 6 Run 2 done. Hurrah!

[GettingFitter]

Walk was easy, first five minutes of the ten minute run was easy. I got to the 3 minute walk and thought I don't need this now. Then the second ten started, 4 minutes in and I am huffing and puffing, count to one hundred, concentrate on breathing, drop the arms.... When Laura said only 60 seconds left - "that's easy for you to say". I was really gasping and couldn't wait for the walk. It was really really tough but I made it without slowing down. Only trouble is how can I run for 25 minutes in the next one? I may take an extra days rest and try it on Friday.

I crapped out on W6R2 after 5 mins into my 2nd 10min run. It was like I'd stopped before I realised I'd stopped.

Cut to yesterday, went straight to W6R3: bossed it!

I would suggest having a go at getting run 3 done and dusted and waving adios to the hated (by everyone it seems) week 6.

Best of luck!

The fact you completed the run shows great determination and proves you CAN do it! Well done. Remember that a lot of running is mental. Tell your head you will do it and your body will follow. Take it slowly and you'll nail it.

Thanks that's so true. I never thought it would be as much mental as physical. I'm going to do it tomorrow

Thats just how I felt on that run, 1 st ten minutes went great, wasnt really ready to walk but 2nd ten minutes was so hard, but I did do it and now wondering on the 25 minutes expected of me next
