Well done Jake, You've done another session in a more challenging week - Week 6 run 2 - DONE!

You should be feeling really proud of yourself right now - you're training to be able to run for 30 minutes so you might not be able to go as fast as you'd hoped now that the running time is getting longer; don't be disheartened .... Go slow and steady you are doing so well :)!

It wasn't for me until after graduation and started upping my miles that running for 25-30 mins became 'easy'. I still can't believe after struggling with 60 seconds that I'll be doing my first HM at the weekend and my 'easy' runs are 5k. It will happen! :) good luck with the rest of the programme.

Yes, I agree with Slookie, week 6 is a horror, you're doing well if you're coping with it! I also agree with Lovefood, 30 mins is just getting to be "easy" for me now, 3 or 4 weeks after graduation. Keep in mind how far you've come and keep at it!
