Well didn’t think I was going to do it this morning, again during the 1st couple of mins of the run I thought it’s not going to happen, then I said to myself of course you can and if you don’t you will have to repeat on Wednesday, that did the trick.

Yeayh completed it so happy 😃

Have a fab day all xx

Well done Twinkle. Week 6 can be a little minx. A bit of a head challenge me thinks. But look at you, you completed it!! Onwards & upwards 👍🏻

Well done you. W6R1 is the point that I joined this forum because I had found it so tough after W5R3. It’s clearly a tough run so well done you. This forum is fantastic too.

Good for you Twinkle. Notorious W6, gets us all! There are zillions of posts all about it so I won’t attempt to explain again, but the fact you got through R1 unscathed is a massive bonus and you did really well pushing to the end. 👏👍👊😀

You’re well on the way to graduating! How exciting is that? Go you! 🎉🎉

Mor exciting than I can put into words 😬 x

The first few minutes of a run are always weird, I find. Once you get past minute 3 or so, everything seems to settle down. Well done, Twinkle.
