W6 R1 Out of the Way

[LeeU]

Following on from Sunday's 20 minute success I have done W6 R1 with a few modifications, I started the first 5 minute session at my original pace and then dropped back to my current pace, it's only 1k difference but it's there.

One the 8 minute run I did the first 6 minutes at my current pace and the last 2 at my original pace.

The last 5 minute run was half at my current pace and the other at current + .5kph. Again, not a lot but I still completed it all on a 2 degree incline.

Thoroughly enjoyed the run, can't wait for Thursday now, 2x 10 minute, I'm going to leave the runs are is and speed up the recovery walk I think, I'll see how I feel.

Good luck to all those doing either W5R3, W6R3, W7, W8 and W9, relax, enjoy it.

Don't worry about pace at this stage. You have loads of time to play around with that after graduation 🙂

Well done on the run especially doing it on an incline 😯

Thanks, I was really just testing my own ability, I had to slow my pace a little to complete week 3 and I was wondering, given my ability now, even though it's only a few weeks later on I thought I'd just see if I can do it.

I always try to run on at least a 1 degree incline, in the earlier weeks it was as much as 4 or 5 but as duration has increased I've dropped it to ensure I don't get too tired too soon as my aim is to complete the runs without having to walk. Don't get me wrong, if I NEED to walk I will but while I can continue telling myself 'one more minute' I will.
