Week 6 Run 1 back on track 😊

Well after hating run 3 of week 5 and not getting the feeling of achievement I was hoping for it was with a little trepidation that I set out for the first run of week 6 tonight. I decided to run as slowly as I possibly could ( as per the advice on here) and I found the run pretty easy! So I think maybe I just went a bit quick last week without realising it, bit overexcited maybe 🤔 so I’m hoping I’ll get that real sense of achievement after the third run of this week instead 🤞

Amazing 👍 well done - slow slow slow all the way works ....... she says 😂 let’s hope I’ll still be saying that when I get to W6 R1 👍

Definitely slow is the way to go... but for me that’s harder than it sounds 🤦🏻‍♀️

Good luck I’m looking forward to hearing how you find it

Well done, you're well on the way now. Yes, I think that at this stage in the programme there can be a tendency to speed up without realising it. I'm sure you've found a comfortable pace now so that's great.

Thank you 😊 I just need to keep reminding myself that when I think I’m going slow to go slower 🤷🏻‍♀️

Well done and I’m glad you enjoyed it 😄

You’re right it is windy out there, wasn’t expecting that!

Oh no I don’t want to do that run again, onward and upward I say! I’m just going to go as slow as I possibly can and hope I get the buzz after the third run of this week 😊

Well done, I did mine yesterday too. It was windy and I felt a bit bloated and looking at 25min run at the end of the week 🥺

I know!! They say run 3 of week 5 is milestone but this is equally so I think!

I’ve completed W6R1 a couple of days ago and was the opposite to you. W5R3 went pretty easy for me at a decent pace but W6R1 very nearly broke me. The important thing is getting through it, and I did but I felt awful. Still, out of all the runs so far that’s only two that I have felt that rubbish on so it’s not worth dwelling on the negatives. W6R2 tonight so bring it on!!! 💪🏽

We all have off days so like you say it isn’t worth dwelling on it. Good luck for tonight!
