W6R1 in the bag at second attempt

I posted earlier how I just couldn't make it at my first attempt, well at lunch today I went out and did it! My calf muscles feel like they're solid, but i ran through it and got to the end, despite my app crashing during the last 5 minutes! Luckily I'd checked my watch and knew when to stop!

I'm having a complete rest tomorrow and on to run 2!

Great stuff. Week 6 notoriously tricky. Running in lunch hour? Heroic.

So far I've not had app crash but so many report it on the forum, I always start the chronometer on my watch as a back up.

Good luck with run 2, you can do it.

I think I've got some kind of phone booster that closed it, I've had it happen before and always worried it'll happen again!

Lunch hour running isn't my favourite thing, I find it easier in the morning, but I wanted to crack this run.

Fab. W6 is hard. And sneaky. But you crept up behind it and pinched its naughty bottom and have run off into glory!! Well done!!
