W6R3 Snail Sprint

Sarah told me today that I am officially a runner. I was amazed when I ran 20 minutes last week and after the first two runs of this week I was dreading trying to do 25 mins. I started of very very slow and got into my rhythm quite quick without experiencing the toxic 10. I kept up the snail pace all the way until Sarah told me I had 1 minute left and I could try and sprint to the end. Sprint I did, I definitely increased my pace but to anyone who might have been watching it was a snail sprint. In six weeks I have come so far. I cannot wait for lockdown to be over so I can do a 5k race with my daughter.

You can do it, have faith 💪💪💪💪💪

Bravo! Mine is coming up on Monday - I intend to go slower than I've ever done before as it was a bit of a struggle doing the 20 mins in W5R3.

You can do this. Go slow, we can both start to try to speed up once we have graduated. 💪💪💪
