It is your longest workout to date........which bears out my contention that overall duration, whether running or walking, is highly relevant to the explanation.

After W5R1 there is an obvious psychological boost and a possible belief that one twenty minute run does a runner make............. it's the same as swallows and summers........

Well done.

I think people get confident after W5R3 and expect the next to be easy. You’ll be fine 👌🏽

It's good to be smacked in the mouth when you feel good about yourself.. :-)

W6R1 and R2 are simply hard work. Respect them. Take them slowly. And reap the benefit in R3.
