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!

Nice work! It is useful to see posts from those who are just a bit before you

Keep it slow and see it through. 😸

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
