W6R3 in the bag!!

I can't believe I've ran for 25 minutes, even more shocking is the fact that I expected to end up looking like an extra from The Walking Dead by the end of the run but I felt fresh and ready to go on! Really enjoyed this run once I got into the zone.

I felt like I got my pace and breathing just right for the first time today and it made such a massive difference. Here's to week 7!

Hi, yes I completed it a few hours ago. Found it tough today. Have you faced it yet?

Did it yesterday, I just went in one direction for the 12.5 minutes then turned round. The headwind became a tail wind I imagined was pushing me home🌬️

Well done! Now that was a good plan. Could have done with a tail wind blowing me back haha!

Fan blooming tastic - home strait now for sure graduation is just a blink away
