I think it’s the combination of the thought of the 3 minute walk in between runs or the actual 3 minute walk that really makes the session hard.
The first 10 minutes were hard - was it that I knew there was a 3 minute walk? The 1st 2 minutes of run 2 were a struggle but after that I was in the flow and perhaps over the Toxic Ten?
I am actually looking forward to run 3 which is 25 minutes straight - this should either prove my theory or not .
Anyone have the same issues?

I had same problems with these runs. Just done the 25 min run first 5 or so mins were hard but kept telling myself it's just toxic 10 at half way I thought wow that went fast next 10 were ok n when she said 5 mins left I picked up the pace albeit slightly til the end. When I finished I cried. Wk6 is defo a mental battle. Keep at it and well done on your run.
