Week 6 Run 1 done

Well I thought after my 20 minute run this would be a doddle........ WRONG!!!

Just showed me how your body settles into running a longer time/distance pace and breathing wise. Swapping in and out of running and walking was much harder work.

I was surprised too at how hard wk6r1 felt ... I guess there must be a reason for going back to start/stop run/walk again. I've noticed that a lot of people say they don't like wk6. I've just done wk6r2 - two 10 mins runs with a 3 mins walk in the middle - which I found easier than r1. At the end Jo said it's all longer runs after this. All the best for the rest of the week wk6!

Thankyou. All the best to you too.

I think some of the idea is that week 5 builds you up to that 20 minute run, then week 6 is a similar structure building up to a bit longer, but definitely think there's a bit of "look, now you really want to run continuously, see?" psychology in there

Yes that does make sense
