I didn't expect it to be easy but I didn't expect it to be quite so tough either! Having completed 20 mins this time last week with some reserve I thought I would smash it but that last 5 mins was a killer. I'm going to need some sort of rocket to get me through W7r1 on Weds!

Well done on completing the run. Just take it slow on Wednesday, don't set off too fast, let your legs do the work and not your mind.

But you did It and that's the main thing. Well done!! Keep going.

Week 6 catches everyone. I think it is when we get too confident. I did and went off too fast. Nearly didn't make the run you just did.

Slow down and you will be fine next time. Good luck.

Good luck rocket on its way🚀, just slow those legs and tame the speed beast and you will do it...

Week 6 is always a tough one. You feel you can rule the world after wk5 r3 and then it gets you. Well done for completing it. Good luck next week.
