Just got back from W6R2 and I feel GRRRRRRRREAT!!! (for those of us old enough to remember Tony the Tiger...)
Admittedly I had two rest days in between W6R1 and W6R2, but today I felt bursting with energy and champing at the bit to run. I heeded the week 6 warnings and paced myself well for the first 10 minutes. The 3 minutes walking felt like a interruption rather than a welcome break and I was very ready for the second half. I didn't want to make a mess of it so I kept steady until 5 minutes to go, then I picked up the pace a little (only a little!) and felt comfortable at the end. In fact I was slightly worried that I'd not put enough effort in until I got back and realised how much I was sweating.
Bring on the non-stop runs!
Good luck to everyone else, particularly week 6-ers!

Good work. Don't worry about pushing it. There's plenty of time for that later. Just concentrate on building your time. If you can power through W6 without a hitch you are well on track.
Well done you! It sounds like you've got that running malarky sorted, and that it's now just a matter of slowly increasing the load until you get to the finishing line. Congrats!
Well done Atomic ... Great running! I only run twice a week anyway and I don't think there's any shame in taking an extra rest day. Good luck for your next run!
