W6R1 - Better than W5R3?!

[Becky1606]

Been lurking on here for a while so thought I'd pluck up some courage and actually post something!

I just finished W6R1 today, having read about how difficult it can be on here, and 3.9k later, I survived! Weirdly though, I am more proud of getting through this one than I was W5R3, has anyone else felt like that?

Looking forward to W6R2 Sat!

I’ve just got back from Run 1 of Week 6. I wasn’t looking forward to it after all that I’d read, and it was tough but pleased as punch that I did it! Well done you. You’ve every right to feel very pleased!

This is funny I've literally just commented on your W6R1 post! Well done to you as well!

I felt this way but I hadn't joined healthunlocked at that point and hadn't heard about w6r1 being harder than w5r3. I was so motivated by knowing that I could run for 20 minutes solidly that I found w6r1 mentally much easier

[Becky1606 Graduate in reply to Alethea7]

Yes thats exactly how I felt, I could actually enjoy it because there wasn't any scariness around it!

Nice one Becky! You are doing so well! No need to lurk any more! 😀

Thanks Simon!

Well done Becky!! I hated W6R1 with a passion. R2 I knew what to expect. After that it was just straightforward (or not) running about. Sounds like you've cracked this now.

Hurry along to the podium of Everlasting Fame and Gloriousness

Thanks Got W6R2 today so hoping it goes as well as R1!

There are lots of experiences shared of that one being a challenging run, so you’re right to be very pleased. Well done you! Good luck for the rest of W6 and beyond! ❤️

[Becky1606 Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Thank you!

[BlondeAmbition72 Graduate]

Hey Becky, just wanted to wish you luck with R2 of W6 today. I’m heading out about 10am. We CAN do this! 👍 x

[Becky1606 Graduate in reply to BlondeAmbition72]

Thanks, you too! How funny I'm heading out around 9:30/10 as well - let me know how you get on! WE CAN DO IT! x

[BlondeAmbition72 Graduate in reply to Becky1606]

I saw your other post. Well done on run 2 - awesome job! I’ve just got in. I went out a little later than planned as my kids’ Dad was late picking them up grrrr! This meant it was hot out there. But I did it! Run 2 - done. Roll on run 3 😊

[Fabulous450 Graduate]

I was on a slow roll today Becky and Blonde but I hope you’ve both had a fantastic run! We’re getting close!! 😁😁❤️❤️

[BlondeAmbition72 Graduate in reply to Fabulous450]

Hey, I’ve just got in from my run. Boy it’s hot out there! Well done on your run. I found it tough but I didn’t struggle to finish either run so happy. We are getting close!! 👍

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to BlondeAmbition72]

That’s brilliant! Well done you! I felt exactly the same! 😱 what has happened? Don’t know, but I’m loving it!! ❤️❤️
