Hello Week 6 Run 1...

Hi everyone....

Well what a run today. This run certainly pushed me. I don't know if it's because as you start getting in to it, you have to stop and walk but today's run was actually harder for me than W5R3.

I gave Michael a peace of my mind at the beginning of the last 5 minute run when he told me that this should be simple now. My words aren't very suitable to repeat on here.

I cursed my way through it but I did it and that's all that matters I guess. Don't know if it's because I didn't get to drink much water yesterday or the humidity right now but I think I can safely say that today's run was the hardest to date.

Anyway... won't dwell on that any longer. Moving on to run 2 on Monday as back to a long weekend at work and the dreaded nightshifts.

Enjoy your Bank Holiday weekend everyone and happy running!

Well done for getting through it! I think a lot of people found that one tough - I know I did. I've just completed W6R3 this morning and have to say I found that one easier than R1&2 - so there is light at the end of the tunnel! Good luck.

It’s a really weird one isn’t it! Only one more run with walking bits then you’re all set to go! 😃😃

Well done sweetheart!! My brain is now saying "If the Divine Donna found it tough then u r totally f*cked Ginger Boy."

My brain is awful to me sometimes... 😭😭

Lol. Nah you'll be fine. Slow and easy does it. At one point I was like, if I go any slower I'll be going backwards but I made it. You will too.

I think my walking and running are the same speed

I found it hard too, maybe because it was such an achievement running the 20 mins in week 5 i felt it would be easier and it wasn’t. Still I had a gin and tonic when I came back and soon felt better. 😁

I'm doing W6R1 this morning....now I'm really curious because there's a lot of "scary" experiences...I'm kind of excited to see how it will go!

Good luck with the next run!!

Good luck with your run hun. After doing the 20 minute run on W5r3, you'd think that W6R1 would be a breeze but alot of ppl including myself found it harder. I guess it's building up our stamina for the longer runs to come.
