Not a great run

Just attempted W6R1, didn't go very well, ran the first 5 & 8 minutes but completely failed the last 5. Very disappointed, but will try again on Friday. ☹️😥

Sorry to hear it didn’t happen today. Think about why - did your head talk you out of it?

Good luck on Friday - unless you have a pulled muscle, a body part missing or are certifiably dead keep running! 🤓

You can do it. Your brain might tell you otherwise. Be prepared for the fight.

Definitely try again, I found W6R2 easier than W6R1, weirdly! So try it again and don’t lose faith, you are doing awesome so if you have to do it again, that’s fine!!!

We CAN. Hope your run went well

Ah - don’t feel disheartened- that is a tough one - a lot of people have trouble with it. Luckily I had been pre-warned by the fabulous people on here but I still found it really tough. Bet you totally smash it next time. You got this. Good luck & keep us posted
