W6 R1 Done - but a difficult one!

Just completed W6 R1 and it was hard! Not sure why but I’ve heard a lot of people felt the same about this run. Just felt like my breathing didn’t regulate as easily as when on the longer run on Tuesday and the stop starting made it harder.

Would love to hear if you felt the same about this run too!

Still I pushed through and finished it and look forward to W6 R2!

I felt exactly the same but just done the 2nd run and smashed it so don't worry about it some runs are good and some are harder is what I'm learning and been told, well done for getting to the end of run 1x

Well done. I found Run 1 and Run 2 harder than Run 3 for Week 6 and, much to my surprise, was glad to see the back of the walking intervals!
