Week 6 R1

Thank you to everyone for the advice on this one. I felt on top of the world having completed week 5, so may have set out a little faster on the first run on this one, but quickly remembered and got the pace under control. Almost at the end when Jo told me I had 60 seconds to go on the last run I stepped it up a bit just to see if I can run faster than a snail 🐌

Not sure I’d still be doing this without the amazing support from here though.

Keep it slow and steady! I got a bit overconfident and went too fast at the beginning, despite all the warnings and suffered more than necessary because of it.

Great running through tricky intervals... learning how to deal with different runs is important for your long term progress and you reining the pace in when you realised you were going faster is a very good sign. Enjoy run 2
