6.3 done and dusted...sorry I had to break a rest day rule to bring myself back on schedule. Still smashing it though, blowing hard through my balaclava! Look like a terr jogging along the seafront! Don't worry it's the skiing kind not full on IRA hit squad! Merino wool - allows me to breath without getting that taste of blood in my throat and keeps my ears warm! Promise I won't run tomorrow!

Cold and dry on the seafront today - bright too but the pic looks dark as I was shooting into the bright sun. :)

9 runs left!

Naughty running step for you.😂😂

Be careful and take those rest days.

25 minutes non stop that's brilliant though. Well done you 😊

Great, and a lovely photo. Do be careful with the consecutive runs, the plan is designed to minimise the risk of injury. Trust me, the injury couch is a frustrating place to be.....

Don’t worry...now I’m at W7 I will defo rest between runs. However, I am amazed that I feel like I could go out and run it again today! Also amazed that I actually WANT to!

Well done Enxo !! Must admit I’ve done that too but a couple of weeks ago - just to get back to my usual days- I hate being out of whack beautiful pic too 😁

Well done and take it easy. You don't get fitter running, you get fitter as your body repairs itself on rest days.
