W5R3 in the bag.

20 minutes went OK. The 2nd quarter seemed like hard work.

Actually I did about 21 to 22 minutes just to complete running the length of the path.

No rain to cool me down 😿

I've seen a few posts warning the dangers of week 6.

8 to 9 minutes per km should be better

You did it, well done πŸ‘πŸ»

Good job x πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

Did you get wind assistance? πŸ˜‰

Wk6r1 seems odd, that going back to intervals will be hard. But seems like lots of the lovely forum came across this phenomenon x

Happy running my lovely
