W6R1 done

[Jay66UK]

That was harder. Bad sleep and reluctant legs. First 5 hard to get breath sorted as usual. Middle 8 was easier on the breath, harder on the legs, stubbornness needed. Final 5 was relatively easy but for lead legs. Just back and the high that kicks in on the cool down hasn’t yet. But it will! Time for water, a banana and a nice hot bath.

Enjoy your next run x

Very well done Jay66UK for completing this run......I found this run to be the worst so far.....looking back having just done wk6r3, I think that this wk6 is a transitioning week,as we move on to the serious stuff.....enjoy your well deserved bath and enjoy the next few runs 😀🏃‍♀️😀🏃‍♀️

Thanks Ally. I can see why this “catches people out”. Despite 2 rest days I don’t think I was fully recovered from the 20 minute run of week 5. Feeling really good about myself for having completed the run. The buzz is slow creeping up on me!

Well done on completing W6R1! Do hope that your lead legs have recovered. I'm hoping to complete W6R1 tomorrow, so really appreciate hearing how yours went. I feel I can not guarantee how my legs will respond. All the best for your next run.

Well done for doing the run, and thanks for sharing your experience. I think after doing the 20 min run, I have the mindset that I can do just about anything.lol.which I know is completely ridiculous . I am doing W6 R1 tomorrow so thanks again for the heads up , and it won’t come as such a blow when I discover it to be a tricky one.

Hi , I have just done my W6R1 as well and was surprised at how heavy my legs were too !

I had one rest day as it’s my day off today, so I thought I would have found it much easier after the “biggy” the other day !!

I suppose the stamina will build up through the week ready for whatever gets thrown at us 😂😂

[Jay66UK Graduate in reply to Kazzey]

Well done. Yes, I have complete faith in this programme getting us where we need to be to do this. Good luck with your next run.

Nice one Jay! Well done... 👍🏼I also did W6R1 today and found it v v tough after finishing w5 on a high... seemed to be more plodding than running today, just hoping for better on r2! 🐌

Enjoy your recovery day...

[Jay66UK Graduate in reply to Janey1974]

Thanks - and well done you! Seems to be a pattern with this run. We’ll get there. Enjoy your next one!
