Week 6 - Run 1 - Sneaky!

6 Replies

Hmmmm - that was a naughty little run, wasnt it!!

Completed it - but it seemed to go on, and on, and on!! Never thought i would say this, but i will be glad to see the back of the walk-breaks now!

On to Run 2 tomorrow, and the last run with walk-breaks! Hallelujah!

Enjoy your friday, folks!

Oh W6 is a sneaky one definitely. I was sure it was put there just to make me dislike intervals so I could appreciate the upcoming longer runs more.

Thats my thought entirely! Just get in to the groove, and BAM, walk! This is genuinely the first time i feel like i have had to grind it out to complete it.

You're doing great, especially as you now just want to run uninterrupted. You'll be so ready to push yourself and get the longer runs under your belt. Enjoy your rest day and good luck with W6R2 only a 3 minute walk within your 20 min run, then ... 😀

Thank you - its certainly heading in the right direction!

Well done! It was my least favourite run of the whole programme. 😡

Funny. We long for the recovery walks early on in the programme, then in week 6 totally resent them!

You are doing grand. Keep up the good work, the joyous continuous runs of week 7 await you. 🏃‍♀️😀🏃‍♀️

Thank you - looking forward to getting the next one out the way, and then i will be happy.
