Ah, week 6... the false sense of security week.

Well, week 6 run 2 done and dusted. I have to say out of the whole thing so far (I know I haven't tackled the last three weeks yet) these were the toughest. Plenty of people have said it but those intervals didn't half throw me! I'm actually looking forward to run 3! :)

Still, I keep telling myself that I'm not alone in finding them tough and will keep putting the trainers on and listening to Laura!

Woop!

:)

Well done for getting out there.

For first time got properly wet in grim drizzle today. But think we've got dry weather for next couple of days.

Something to look forward too. If been out in rain the next dry days seem almost tropical. So your right in looking forward to next run.

Good luck keep us all posted.

Well done Russ !

Yes if its any consolation , LOTS of us found Week 6 very tough ! It seems to sneak up and bite you on the bum after the euphoria of completing the 20 minute run of Week 5 .

You dug deep and did it !

Keep going, youre doing great :-) xxx

Well done! You're nearly at the end of week 6. It is tough but once you've cracked it you're on the home strait.

Just keep going nice and steady, and doing what Laura says, and it's in the bag. Nice and slowly. No dramas.

Thank you! I may even treat myself in week 7 to some new running shoes! :)

Oh yeah, it practically goes without saying 😊 Photos are compulsory by the way. New shoes are a rite of passage and must be shared with your compadres 😊
