Week 6 is done!

W6R3 was the easiest one among the whole week. Running for 25 minutes without slowing down to a walk is surprisingly easier than interval running. I'm puzzled and looking forward to week 7.

Foot numbness is back though :-( It appears in 20-25 minutes since start - no matter if there are intervals or not. Going to visit a physician.

Well done dmitry. Sorry to hear about your foot issues, is it possible it's related to how you lace your shoes? Or have you tried compression socks?

Hi Dmitry. Sorry to hear about your foot! I hope you can get it sorted so it's not bothering you

You've done well to get past week 6 so easily cos that is the hardest! Good luck for the rest of your runs

Totally with you on the interval thing Dmitry. Absolutely hated stopping and starting, found it so hard to start again once I'd stopped!

Look after your ankle, injuries, infuriatingly, tend to be part of the game.

Well done on completing w6. I ran w6r2 last night and it was awful - Both w6 runs are testing to say the least! I am hoping r3 will be better :)
