Yay, W6R1 done! 😊

Well you were all right those of you who said this one was unexpectedly tough. For the first time my legs felt heavy and a bit sluggish during the first 5 minute run. Hard to believe after the 20 mins on Saturday which felt so comfortable but hey ho, I dug in and the rest was easier. I'm becoming more aware of my breathing and I conciously relax my shoulders and my hands because I realised I was clenching them. All the brilliant advice on here is pulling and pushing me on so thank you one and all. Can't wait for Thursday and R2!

Well done! I struggled with R1 and 2 of W6 but have just done R3 and really enjoyed it. Good luck on Thursday with your next run.

Well done you too for passing W6. Is it me or are the weeks going by a lot faster? Roll on W9! Good luck with your upcoming runs. 😊

Well done. I noticed I have a tendency to clench my hands when I'm trying to persevere if it gets tough or I'm near the end! Consciously trying to think about that and not hunching shoulders. I think the fact that you're not constantly thinking will I have enough breath or will my legs make it make you more conscious of the rest of your body. I was most impressed when I realised I had actually had a mini day dream like ooh what shall we have for tea and solving days logistics whilst I was running! Good luck with Thursday
