Week 6r2 why so hard

Wow just completed week 6r2 and the last 5 minutes were awful. Last time I tried this I gave up half way through this run and stopped running. Plowed through this time and even though it wasn't my best run proud to get through . Bring on 25 minutes

This was the worst run for me in the whole programme, have no idea why!!! I really had to dig deep. Did run 3 yesterday though and it felt good so there is hope. Good luck for your next run!

I did this run on Tuesday and hated it! Really had to push through the last few minutes, just wanted to stop. I think I may have ran too fast on the first 10 minutes and tired myself out.

Yes I think that was my problem I got a little cocky thinking i was fitter than I was but lesson learned
