W6R1: Back to intervals, how I didn’t miss you?

I completed the run yesterday and it did surprise me that I kinda of miss the continuous run. I think the stopping and the starting is harder than running continuously. Also, with the longer run, it was much easier to keep my pace constant! But, I trust the program and it’s reasons 😂 It has gotten me this far after all. Following the advice of all you lovely runners who have been here before, I kept the eagerness and cockiness at bay. I just went slow and steady which got me to end without any major troubles!

Yup, intervals are tough, but there’s a lot of good science behind using them in this programme. Good luck with the rest of week 6!

Oh I love the stop! It’s just that it takes so much mental power to start up again. 😂 When I don’t have the crutch of a brisk walk in the middle, i feel it’s more of steady battle
