Week 6 Run 1 - I didn’t like it!

Like others who have posted here recently, I found Week 6 Run 1a bit ... anticlimactic.

After running for 20 straight minutes at the end of Week 5, it was quite unsettling to go back to walking intervals. I found it harder to relax into the run and get into ‘the zone’ and felt lots of little niggles in my legs - all mental niggles, I am sure!

Still, I shall trust in the programme which has got me off the couch 3 times a week, and hope that run 2 is more enjoyable. Onwards and upwards!

Legs probably wanted to go go go. Interval work is good, you’ll enjoy it post grad I’m sure. Don’t like it, did it, onwards!
