When do the Coaches call you a Runner? Week 6 Run 2 DONE!

What Run so the coaches call you a runner? I’m holding out for this and using it as my motivation!

Week 6 Run 2 done. Sun was glorious all morning and as soon as I stepped out of the door I could feel some raindrops starting! Typical as I has a light jacket on. I do t mins getting wet but I don’t fancy my red dye running and making me look like Carrie! 🤣

Both runs completed and the 2nd 10 minute run started to ache towards the last 2 minutes. Took mental willpower to push on through.

I also “pang” a lot towards the end, quite audibly )or so I think£. Is this a sign to slow it down more? I’m conscious that stones are overtaking me!

Plus at the end of the run, during my cool down walk I find the endorphins take over and I find myself practically dancing and grooving along to my playlist. Well until I reach the main road and I have to tone it down a little!

If you're using that for motivation then it's W9R3 😂

Well done in the tricky intervals... you got this now.

Your coach may say something at the end of your next run

They do say that at the end of week 6 when the walking intervals end but really, if you run regularly you’re a runner.
