Blimey Charlie, that felt like the hardest run so far, I really struggled, I was praying for Mr Smooth to tell me to walk after each run. I really didn't expect that after the 20 minute run on Friday, but anyway it's done know, here's hoping for an easier run on Monday. 🀀 😁

w6r1 was the hardest run for me - I felt terrible and was really surprised after the triumph of w5r3. Have a look at the posts in the wk6 topic - loads of us in the same boat. It made me feel so much better when I realised it was the same for lots of people. Keep going - it definitely gets easier!

Many people find this one a little tricky so you're not alone. I think it's something to do with going back to intervals after the euphoria of the previous continuous run. We might also run a bit faster due to increased confidence. But whatever the reasons,you've done it and it's behind you now -sounds like a pantomime πŸ€— Well done.

Thanks, I think I did go a bit faster, back to slow and steady for me.😁

Thanks so much Beth, love your encouragement. XxX

Martin this was my 'f' for flipping run... W6 messed up my head good and proper, may be it's the comedown in adrenaline from W5R3 mission impossible. But you did it, well done you. Happy running Monday
