Week 6 run 3

I've known this one was coming and have put it off- it's been a couple of months now since I've run a bit longer without that little walk in the middle...

Still got it! 25 minutes no problem, in fact think I could have kept going 😁 Not the fastest run I've ever done but will worry about that later 🐌

Bring on the next run!

I notice that you are already a graduate, so were you like me today who also ran run 3 of week 6 for a bit of nostalgia or are you rerunning the whole program again and today was the turn of 6.3.?

Ha no, I graduated in I think Oct/Nov... struggled a bit with consolidation, then got sick, then it was christmas, and so on! So just decided to go back in part way, and figured week 6 was probably about what I could handle.

I was a bit unsure about going back up to a longer run, but felt good today and thought I'd give it a go, glad I did now :D

Got to decide now whether I should re-run the whole rest of week 7/8/9, or just take it a bit more as it comes....

As you know run3 of week 6 and all of the runs of week 7 are 25 minutes of non stop running, no walking breaks, so it's up to you if you wish to run them or you could go to the last run/walk which is run 2 of week 6.

Thanks, yeah might not follow it to the letter- mostly stick to the 25 min plus runs and maybe drop back to a little run/walk occasionally for a change. Sounds like that's what you do?

My favourite reruns are 5.3 and run 3 of week 6 which I ran this morning, a favourite run for graduates who have not ran for a while tends to be run 1 of week 3, of course if anyone has been off running for more than 6 months it's better to restart the course.

As you've been here before you know it's not about speed it's about getting to the end of the run and enjoying it and you did. 😊😊
