Well did my run this afternoon ..Was tough but got through it by going slowly and steady ..I thought I would canter this run because of the walking breaks ..But it was really tough I don't no why but it was ..Had took plenty water yesterday and today ...Think I went maybe a fraction faster at the start . Then really slowed to my normal snail pace ...But did it in the end ..Happy days 😊

Well done. I fear keep warning people about W6 might start to scare others - glad the warnings you saw helped you. Give the next one respect as well and then enjoy flying with run 3!

Completely agree. I wouldn’t have reached Week 8 without it.

We do have to temper the warnings, as otherwise, runs do get a terrible reputation... :)

Week 5 Run 3 was one which held and still does hold horrors for folk... many , many very very scary posts, historically, were putting folk off almost from the start of the programme:)

But advising caution, as we approach different runs is fine:)

The runs are different, that is why the programme works...and we just try, especially on the Admin side to advise that caution, as we approach the structure of the different weeks:)

Your advice clearly helped..thank you :)
