Well after running for 20 minutes last time, I thought I could run a marathon......oh how the mighty fall. This run was bloomin’ hard! But it’s done, rest of the day ahead of me and rest day tomorrow 😊

Well done I remember that happening to me it’s often the way but keep on trusting the process it’s a challenge and some runs more than others , remind yourself you did it .

I was exactly the same! Whoever would have thought an interval run would be harder than a straight 20 mins! I have the W6R2 tomorrow so fingers crossed it’s ok! Good luck for the next few weeks 💪

If you read through other posts on the forum you'll see that it's very very common to find W6R1 hard. I think the consensus is that people get overconfident after W5R3 and set off too fast. I found it pretty easy because I had read the warnings!
