Week 6 -done :-)

...completed W6R3, earlier today minus my running buddies. 25 whole minutes -who knew! I set off too enthusiastically (well, I basically wanted it to be finished lol) on the plus side I covered more ground, discovered that drinking too much wine the night before was a bad idea... 'Slow down, slow down some more...' and there's some semblance of rhythm :-) My legs couldn't seem to remember how to articulate for my warm down walk -but I did it (albeit looking like a sweaty beetroot πŸ‘Ÿ ).

The return to intervals in R1 and 2 were beneficial if only to remind me just how far I've come over the last few weeks (breath and recovery).

Onwards to Week 7 :-)

Sounding fantastic! Bet you’re glad that pesky week is behind you and you can look forward to the lovely longer runs now! πŸ‘πŸ»

You already know all about needing to go slow - so W7 is yours for the taking. πŸ’ͺ🏻 Good luck and enjoy your running! πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€
