Hmmm, strange

So, today I did w6r1. That seemed more taxing than the 20min run on w5r3. Why? Maybe as it is - 2° out there this morning and the paths were very icy ⛐ so I was running 🏃 quite tentatively and the air was cold breathing it in. Can't wait for non frosty mornings.

Oh, the curse of Week 6! If you look at the posts for week 6 you will see that many of us stumbled a little here - I think it is actually the return to walk-run intervals after that 20 min run in week 5. I graduated over two years ago now and for some reason it is Week 6 that sticks in my mind as being the hardest! Never fear - it all starts to pull together soon and you will be back on continuous runs! Good luck with the rest of the programme - it's a life changer.😀🏃🏽‍♀️

Week 6 😃. Crikey 💪👍. Take it steady and you’ll nail it. Mind you in this weather it’s hard to get going at all isn’t it. Slippery paths eek!

Spring is around the corner 👍

Yes, it really was icy this morning, worst since I started and I have been out every second morning. Usually I can find non - frosty, paths but not this morning.

Well done.

You have just done the longest workout to date..............does that explain anything?

24 minutes is more time than 20 minutes. Correspondingly more taxing.

[Fifitrixiebell Graduate in reply to Rignold]

Yes, hadn't thought of that. One long run just sounds longer than a broken 24 min run.

The runs follow on, and as long as you are slow and steady you should be fine...I have to say.. icy conditions for me,as with many of us are a definite no-no.. you did well
