W6R3 Second Time Lucky

After bombing out at 17 minutes on Monday, today went to plan and felt like there was something left in the tank.

Shortened my stride, found I actually could slow it down, and still managed to cover 2.9km.

Now to see if I can stretch that a little over the three week 7 runs.

Great job. No need to stretch anything though... keep your pace comfortable as the duration increases. Week 7 seems like no step up, but it is in terms of weekly running. You got this now... love those runs, there’s no need for any of them to be hard work from the start just yet.

Sounds like you had the same problem as me on W6R3. We've done fantastically well to overcome our demons and succeed at this - we really knew we had it in us all along! Well done x
