What just happened?? W6R1 😩

[Flaraflarkin]

That was tough. What an anti-climax after W5R3 ... Not sure what happened there, I did it but am going to put it behind me where it belongs! Onwards and upwards. Meh.

[stpehlittle]

It was tough, but YOU DID IT! I'm really impressed, week 6 sounds hard. I'm sure r2 will be better now you've achieved r1. Well done, this is a big deal! ❤️️☀️

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to stpehlittle]

Aww thank you 😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to stpehlittle]

No hard... just different

[sigasiga Graduate]

W6R1 was the one I've found hardest - like running through treacle. I don't think I'd quite recovered from the 20 minute run in W5R3. Well done though - you did it! I found the rest of W6 was fine so I'm sure you will as well.

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to sigasiga]

Thank you for the encouragement! It was a real slog!

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Apparently that run is one of the hardest in the program.

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

I'm so glad you said that! It was just Bleurgh!! 😫

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Just different

[ha68]

Oh no! I was looking forward to W6R1! Having completed 20 mins non stop yesterday I thought this one would be a walk in the park! At least I’m now prepared for disappointment!

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to ha68]

Keep looking forward to it! You could well be just fine, we are all different! Enjoy it - don't listen to me! 😂😂

Look in the Topics section for week 6 on the right of the page. That run catches more people than any other I reckon. But this programme has been going a while it is tried and tested and has brilliant results. It's just another run on the way to graduation👍. You'll be fine.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to ha68]

Do not be disappointed..it is fine... just keep it slow and keep it steady, that is all you have to do

[Pancakes Graduate]

Wow! Well done you! 😀

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Pancakes]

Thanks Pancakes! Rooting for you for tomorrow 😊 Slow slow and slower 🤗

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

That's it. It is a tough one and catches a lot out after the euphoria of w5 r3 but yes, it's done now and you should start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel now 😉👍😁

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thank you, R2 looks more appealing already! 😬

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

I loved Week 6.. relax and enjoy

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I think I'm going to 😊

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

You will x

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

It is another run, that is all..it has a reputation from some scary posts...yes, be aware, but, it is just different.. the programme is designed to test the disciplines in our running..hence the variation...

You did well... just move on, trusting the plan and having confidence in yourself... the lovely longer runs that follow build on these runs

It is one of those mysterious ones - this was my nemesis run and the only one I repeated... You did it, well done and happy running next time out
