W6R2 complete! Big runs ahead!

[Mand102]

Not long got back from completing W6R2, I was a bit apprehensive of this run as I struggled with W6R1 due to me not listening to my body (I stupidly went out feeling literally sick and tired and although I completed W6R1 I felt really ill afterwards). Thankfully I found this run a lot easier, and a lot more enjoyable 😊 Will take more notice of my body next time! Here's to the long runs, excited but nervous too.

Well done, Mand102 ; I 'm not long back myself from this run!

Ooh well done to you too! Hope you found it ok 😊

Relax into these longer runs.... just let the new running legs begin to find their own happy pace...no need for nerves... slow and steady is the way

[Mand102 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks for the good advice. I'm strangely looking forward to It!

Me too, just done W6R2! Felt I coped pretty well, but also apprehensive about the longer runs. I'm getting a bit of lower back pain in the last 5 minutes so hoping that doesn't get worse - but overall am so chuffed at progressing through this programme! Aren't we just amazing!

[Mand102 Graduate in reply to Ajay99]

Well done!! We've managed 20 mins, so we CAN do this!! This plan is just amazing isn't it. Can't believe the difference it's made!

I do hope your back pain goes away

[Ajay99 Graduate in reply to Mand102]

Yes we can! Should have done Wk6R3 yesterday but ran out of time! Hope I can fit it in over the weekend (too much food about!)

Well done Mand102! Doing this run tomorrow! Hopefully I go as well as you! There is quite a group of us at the same stage which is fabulous and so motivating 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️💪

[Mand102 Graduate in reply to mergirl101]

I'm sure you'll do fab, good luck. It's great seeing so many people at the same point. Seeing their nerves and then them completing runs really spurs you on doesn't it 😊

[Ajay99 Graduate in reply to mergirl101]

Yes, looking forward to hearing about W6R3 which is my next one! Good luck!
