Week 6??

[Jaxdreamer]

Hang on a minute! How come week 6 run 1 felt considerably harder than week 5 run 3?

[Joolez Graduate]

Hah ... that happened to me too ... the next one will be easier. I think it's because we get so worked up and determined about W5R3 and that focus just isn't there for the W6 run

[LYNNIEH Graduate]

Same with me too! Not sure how that happens!!!!

It catches us out sometimes But, you are going to be fine.. you can do this because you have built up to it properly!

[Jaxdreamer Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank goodness - felt like I was back stepping!

[Slinkyminky Graduate]

I think most of us felt like that, it's a real mind over matter week is week 6! 🤔

[Jaxdreamer Graduate in reply to Slinkyminky]

Phew! I was beginning to think the 20 mins was just a fluke!

[Feebeekay]

I found the same and was told it was the starting and stopping made it harder to reach a consistent comfortable jogging pace. I tend to set off too fast when each interval started instead of slow and steady 😊

[Jaxdreamer Graduate in reply to Feebeekay]

I am never going to be accused of going to fast!! Ha ha! But yeah, it may have been the stopping that upsets your psyche!

[Feebeekay in reply to Jaxdreamer]

By too fast I mean trying to jog as opposed to my usual jiggly waddle 😊

[Rignold]

It always does.

I think everyone gets thrown by week 6 - actually I think it's just more the case that managing that 20 minute run at the end of week 5 makes you feel so epic that anything after that is a bit of a disappointment. Keep going you will and it does get better. No pain, no gain and all that 😉

Seems like a common experience then after that, for me, it fell into place.
