Struggle W6R1?

[Dawnie16]

Just been out for R1 in Week 6 and found it harder than W5R3, how can that be ? Really struggled tonight 😣😣

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

It is your longest workout to date.........say no more.

Hadn't realised that...thank you

[SlowLoris]

Lots of people have exactly the same experience.

[Dawnie16 Graduate in reply to SlowLoris]

Thank you ☺

[ancientrunner Graduate]

Lots of people find the same - honest!!

[Dawnie16 Graduate in reply to ancientrunner]

Thank you, it helps to know others feel the same ☺

Loads of people find the same and find it's a mystery because of the walking, but as IannodaTruffe says, it's still your longest workout. You also just had the high of the 20 minute run which many people find allows you to get into a rhythm but the shorter runs stop that in W6R1.

also ... wouldn't it be weird if week 6 was easier? It's supposed to be a progression . Well done for getting through it, struggling or not!

Join the clan, I found it so hard as well now got W6R3 to do tomorrow

[Dawnie16 Graduate in reply to oldperson47]

Good luck for tomorrow...let me know how it goes

[oldperson47 Graduate in reply to Dawnie16]

Just done it. I am so chuffed. It seems to take about 10 mins to get into a real pattern of breathing then it is just a matter of mind over matter. Slight cheat the last 5 mins are a slight downhill slope but I did have to do the hill bit at the start!

[Dawnie16 Graduate in reply to oldperson47]

That's brilliant ! Well done you 😊 I struggled from the start😣

[HoagyM Graduate]

Yeah, lots find it especially difficult, but well done for completing it!

[Dawnie16 Graduate in reply to HoagyM]

Thank you 😊

This run was definitely my hardest to date, I found the whole of week 6 quite hard, think it’s a transition week, but all comes together as you reach week 7 and onto week 8.....it’s all very clever, well done for not giving up and keeping going 😀😀

[Dawnie16 Graduate in reply to Ally25]

Thanks it's good to know it's not just me...ill persevere 😊

[Tasha99 Graduate]

Because people get over confident after w5r3 and thing W6R1 will be easy

[Ang33333 Graduate]

It was the same for me

Seems to be a difficult week! But you'll feel amazing after run 3!

[Dawnie16 Graduate in reply to Ang33333]

Thanks for the encouragement I need it 😁😁

[oldperson47 Graduate]

Go for it, you can do it.
