W6R1 Found this harder than W5R3

Think I went out this morning with a cocky attitude thinking that today's run would be a doodle after W5's 20 min run. It wasn't! I felt every bit of the 5, 8 and 5 minute runs despite walking time in between. Anybody understand that?

Yes I did w6r1 this morning and felt EXACTLY the same! It was really tough (I had put it down to too much champagne last night lol). We can't be the only ones...!

I felt that too, I believe it is when you go back to intervals, but you will find this helps going forward to the longer runs (I am starting W7 Tonight).

For some reason wk6 seems to get everyone this way don't know why but the plan seems to work so I don't question it 😚

There is the simple fact that it is your longest workout to date, but I think that it is more of a psychological issue. After all, we all believed that conquering W5R3 meant that are were seasoned runners and could handle anything...............one twenty minute run does not a runner make.

Well done, you did it.
