Just done this run, and it felt good πŸ˜†

I think after doing a full 20 minutes you think to yourself, surley this will be easier? But I have to say it wasn't easier, maybe a little bit more difficult if I'm honest. But I did it. And to think 6 weeks ago I struggled to run for a minute. Can't wait for Friday πŸ‘Ÿ

Everyone finds this one surprisingly difficult! One more interval run for you, and there'll be no more walking! Go for it! You can do it! You WILL do it!

Well done for completing this tough run.

I don't know why - but yes this one does seem strangely hard.

All the best for Friday :)

WELL DONE!!! I'm still on week 3 as I've been ill and had to take a full week off, but reading your posts is so encouraging for me because we started around the same time, and your enthusiasm is infectious :) keep going!

Thanks everyone, I just can't believe I've got this far. This programme is just amazing. Can't believe I've only got one more interval run left, very scary indeed!

Hope you're on the mend Grubby1985,just take it steady and your can do it πŸ‘ x

Yes this is the little sneaky one that catches many out but you've done it now so it's behind you. Keep ticking off those runs.

I'm at the same stage as you and was disappointed that it found it hard going today ...hope the next run feels better

i have done week 6 r 1 today and expected it to be easy after tuesdays 20 min run but i too found it tough going...not helped as i had to keep eye on 2 kids who were accompanying me on bikes...bit disappointed but i did it.

I did W6R1 today also and likewise found it hard going.

It was my own stupid fault though for going too fast during the 8 min running stint.
