Well that was a bit of a shock! I think I ran the first 5 too fast so struggled in the middle 8 and actually couldn't finish the final 5. A bit disappointed in myself but going to try again on Thursday

I think this one has caught a few of us out. I just about managed to do it but really really struggled. Week 6 run 2 got me too. Maybe slow your pace right down to begin with and push towards the end if you can. You’ve got this 💪 xx

It is your longest workout to date and does catch many out, but mainly because they are somewhat overconfident after W5R3.

Just start out nice and slow and if you have something left at the end, then you can speed up.

Yeah, don’t be so hard on yourself, it’s all a learning curve 😊

Sounds to me like you've learned a lot from this run so dont be so hard on yourself. Thanks for sharing and good luck with the next one, not that you'll need it!

So I managed it today. Slower pace than my 20 min run but I finished it so I am happy!
