W6R1 done

Tough little run as expected... only just completed both the second and third intervals. Feel that I want to come back and try this again after graduation... it needs its ass kicking.

By the time you've smashed the rest of this week, you won't need to come back to this run. You will look back on it with contempt, knowing it's ass isn't worth kicking.

Just 1 more run with walking intervals and it's nonstop from there.

You'll be a graduate in no time. 😃😃😃

Can’t wait to ditch the intervals... what a programme though... 25 at the end of the week and that would be so much harder to get to without intervals.

Yes, the plan really is the dogs knees or the bees whatever. 🐝🐕✔

Hey well done! If it helps, I couldn’t manage some of the runs on the plan either, but it’s where you finish that matters! Keep going, I know you can do it!

You're nailing it. Once the continuous-runs week start, you'll be in your element :)

Weird how continuous running was intimidating last week, and how we can't wait to ditch the intervals now 😂 what a well thought-out programme !

Well done! Longer runs seem a long way off but if you forget about any other targets except completing the programme you'l be fine.

Only a few weeks left! ⌚

Goo luck 🍀

I think I'd like a t-shirt with that on the back! It's so true about the intervals, once you can run non stop, they just seem to get in the way. The next run will feel so much easier after this so-and-so. And then there's no stopping you 😁

One more interval to go... of course I’ll be doing them in a couple of months again, but for now I’ll be happy when they’re gone.
