Thought I'd got this with 20 min run. Why does W6r1 feel harder? Am I just having a bad day? 🤔

A lot of people find it harder. Maybe it’s the comedown after the triumph of running 20 minutes straight ? Never mind, you’ve got 6:3 to look forward to 😀

I've seen meny posts on here saying people were surprise they found week6 harder where on paper it shouldn't be so difficult.

I'm suppose to start tomorrow...fingers crossed, but not if the weather is as bad as they said it will be

Well done, you have just completed your longest workout to date.

One twenty minute run does not a runner make.........

Snap I was chuffed with myself after the 20 minute run then boom. I'm struggling with these shorter ones. Doesn't make sense.

In its own way, Week 6 also pushes you along. You’ll see it later when you look back. For now, Go with the flow remains good advice. 😊

Keep going I've just done my first 25 minute run. It wasn't easy but somehow seemed easier than ones with stops.

I will be doing this on Monday, after the highs of running for 20 minutes, I’m wondering WHY we go back to stop start. Very interesting that people are finding it difficult xxx
