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!

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. 🏃‍♀️😀🏃‍♀️
