Why?

[Enxo]

Go back to interval training after completing W5.3?

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Just to throw you off! 🤣🤣🤪 no, seriously, it's all part of the plan, it's getting you ready for the longer runs, don't worry! 👍🏻

[Bike_and_Run Graduate]

I saw it like climbing a mountain. You climb up then come down a little to climatise before going back up and reaching the goal.

Climb too far to fast to sooner without climatising properly and you are going to struggle to reach the top.

Seems odd, but trust the plan and go with it.

Well done for completing w5. Not long to go now

Just to annoy us😂. No really just trust the plan . It's just the way it works 😊😊

It’s all about the workout length, most find W6R1 harder than W5R3

I have never worked that out, but it works. Trust it

This running is about a lot more than just running..😉

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

Good question! I don’t know, but I like the analogy from Bike_and_Run! I do know one thing, and that is that W6R1 is harder than you might think, so take it slowly.....😁

[Enxo Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

Thanks for the heads up!

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

W6R1 is the longest workout in the programme up to that point...........and many get caught out by it.
