W6 finished! Can’t say R3 was easy

[Harleysfield]

The last 5 mins I had to really push myself to finish, but feeling good now. Still think I’m going too fast (5.95min / km), but just can’t appear to run slower! Even had opportunity to try out my new trainers, which were a treat to myself for getting this far. Was advised in the shop though not to buy a treadmill as I was totally useless - no balance and all over the place - it was the first time! Instead they had me trying trainers running outside the shop! Onwards to week 7 on Monday ... 3 more of today’s run - it can only get easier I hope

Haha! I was the same on the treadmill, ran outside the shop n ended up with Scott running shoes too, though mine are bright red. Yours are beauties! Best of luck with Week 7, you’re officially a runner now!

Well done.

There is no too fast as long as you can speak clear ungasping sentences as you run.........if you cannot, you are going too fast. This pace, known as your easy conversational pace, is the one that all runners are advised to spend 75-80% of their running at..,......so learn to try you pace.
