W6R1 surprising!

Well after a day at work in the City and a quick doze on the train home, I wasn't really in the mood to go home, change and go running. I was in the mood to go home, eat, pour beer and watch crap TV.

But fate was on my side for a rare change. My daughter was swimming at the leisure centre where I run and needed picking up in 50 minutes.

Just enough time to get up there, run, collect daughter and earn brownie points.

And the surprise was that despite my inertia, I got round just fine and even managed to kick on in the last sixty seconds, (reminiscent of 'Coe kicks...' For anyone over 45). Not!!

Anyhow W6R1. Check ✅ 😃

Cheers, really glad I went in the end!

I'm not great for will power. Think if I miss one, I'll just end up missing loads and eventually not finishing.

Good luck on your next outing..👍

Did mine on Tuesday- sounds like you found it easier than I did. Well done. I did not like that one at all. Mind u I was on such a high from W5R3 I just didn't get the same buzz. Here's to R2!

Going back to intervals feels awkward now. When did I start complaining about having a rest!!!

Good luck for R2!!!

I'm curious to get to this run as so many others have struggled with it. You have cruised through it with total Marco style and panache. With brownie points as the added bonus! Good stuff 👍

Not what you're looking for?
