Week 6 Run 1 - it's hard

Ok, so this morning I did week 6 run 1 (in the wind and rain) and it was hard - each run felt like it was going on forever as did the walks. I did it though and am now looking forward to a weekend off before I continue on Monday.

Hi we’re at about the same stage although I’m brand new to this community!

Just wanted to say well done as that first run of wk6 was also tough for me. I did week 5 twice as I struggled too much with wk5r3 to feel I was ok for week 6.

I think it could be a psychological thing too. The boost from doing the longer run in wk5 to then alternating running and walking for wk6r1 left me feeling a little flat. But just wanted to say once I did runs 2 and 3 I felt amazing again!

Yesterday at the end of wk6 Sarah Millican said “you can call yourself a runner now’ and I cried happy tears. So hang on in there as I think when you’ve done the longer run this week you will feel amazing and then run 1 of this week makes sense.

Hope I’ve made sense! Keep going, it sounds like you’re doing great.
