So after completing week 5 run 3 (albeit very slowly) I thought tonight's run would be slightly easier!! Oh how wrong I was!!! Struggled from about 3 minutes in and had to give up 3 minutes from the end. Not sure whether it's because my head wasn't in the right space and I just needed to get this session done to stay on track or what but I'm really hoping the next one isn't so tough. Legs are still recovering I think from the last session. Has anyone else found this?
Week 6 run 1 hardest one yet!!: So after... - Couch to 5K
Week 6 run 1 hardest one yet!!

Hi Tracey, I think we all find Wk6 catches us out after the euphoria of W5R3! If you scroll through here you’ll find you’re not alone with the shock of W6R1. Going back to the ‘shorter’ runs continues to build up the stamina, maybe slowing down next time? Keep going, you’re more than half way through! Good luck with the next run! X

You are definitely not alone- lots of people find W6R1 tricky. Just keep going slowly and gently & you will be fine. 😀
