W6 R2 in the bag

That was hard! I think I started off a bit too fast at the start of the first 10min run, as I had loads of energy, which is probably why I was flagging a bit by the end of the second 10min.

I had the bright idea yesterday of looking up the route of my local Parkrun - which is more or less the route I’ve been running anyway - and basing today’s run on that, with adaptations so it starts and finishes at my flat. It definitely gave me the sense that I’m going to find Parkrun well within my capabilities within a few weeks.

So! No more walking intervals for me...

One other thing: has anyone worked out how to get the iPhone app to send the “next run” reminder at any other time than 8am? I’m always done by then!

Great job. The next run is in lots of ways easier... just go off slow. Great news on parkrun, you’ll be there soon.

I turned notifications off for the app... I get the alert at 8am to remember my shoes, but it was a bit premature!

Well run BarginRzl!! I always find the first part of the run more difficult. Managed to run for 15mins on the second leg rather than the px 10mins lol l definitely prefer the second leg. Like you, no more breaks from here on in. Enjoy your next run & well done for today 👍🏻

Well done. I've discovered that the right pace is definitely the secret, especially as the runs get longer. You can always work on a faster pace later which is what I intend to do. Breathing regularly is usually a good guide. If I can take breaths through my nose and out through my mouth I know I'm running too fast!
