Wow!!! I found this really hard today! I found this even harder than the 20 minute run. I’m guessing it’s because I only got back into it after a Christmas week off (and maybe a small mince pie weight gain!). Have looked and the next run is a full on 25 mins!!!!!

You can do this!

You’ve kept going and made it as far as week six - keep going, ignore the clock (I’m sure it lies - however do those last seconds take so long?!)

Go for it 😊

Quite agree did this today, first run was hard work, but second one lot better and I could have gone further I think. Think the problem was you gee yourself up for the week 5 20mins, and almost feel as if the first two runs of week 6 should be easy peasy, but in reality if you walk fast enough in the middle, you are actually doing 23 mins of effort. So..... the final run is not a lot further. Sure you will ace it, remember the mantra “trust the programme will get you there” Good luck

Just done W6R2 and I found it tough as well - and I haven't had a break - think I'm a bit over-confident after W5R3
