Week 6 Run 3 complete but wasn’t in a good mindset today so not an enjoyable run. I had good intentions for a slow and steady run but had to speed up a few times to ‘overtake’ some walkers and just seemed to loose my stride and my breathing was all over the place. I tried to slow down but never seemed to manage the steady pace I was aiming for, then after five minutes I started to suffer with calf-pain and ‘Log-legs’ as I like to call them, so all in all not such a good run today 😕. Week 7......here I come!

Slow down a bit and it will all come right 🙂👍🏃♀️✔️
Well done! A completed run is a completed run, don't beat yourself up. You did it, fair and square.
I'm terrible for speeding up. Some silly pride thing in me says that if I pass anyone else I need to be running at a decent speed, and furthermore, I need to say "Hello" or "Morning" whilst not sounding out of breath. Stupid I know, I don't care what people think, gave that up years ago, but it's just a habit I can't get out of
Anyway, you've got plenty of time to practice your 25 minute runs next week
You take care, keep it nice and steady, don't injure yourself

Well done for seeing it through- that's great determination.
Be kind to yourself in W7 - gentle, relaxed and slow. There is time in the future to think about speed.
