Epic fail

Well what can I say, had the weekend away for my big birthday and pushed myself out of the door today to do Wk 6 r 1 when I normally do this on Monday. To say I struggled is an understatement, managed the two 5min runs but had to walk halfway through 8min.

Never mind, I had a great weekend and will run again Friday but have decided to repeat week 6 next week, that should still see me graduating before Christmas, which is my goal 😱

Disappointed but determined

There are No Failures on this forum: you went out for a run and that is a success. Ok, you had to walk a bit... so it was a test run. But you learned to not run when you were tired, and you have a plan to try again.

The failure would be to go back and sit on the couch.

True words markyD, and I must remember how far I have come from wk 1.

The Curse of W6R1... I’m sure The Mentors can explain why, but this forum is littered with tales of the perils of W6R1... I think it’s the toughest run of all. The good news? You’ve got it in the bag!
