This heat didn’t help at all.. I really struggled ...

After last week I felt like I couldn’t keep my momentum with the stop starts, made me feel all over - did anyone find this?

W6R1 is not an easy run at all! I really struggled with it so round of applause for doing it in this type of heat! It does shock people going back to intervals but you are also still running on R1 for 20 minutes, its just the brisk walking in-between that makes it feel longer, therefore more exhausting! It is actually the longes run overall including the brisk walking that you have done in the programme. I really struggled with getting back into the run once I had done it, but don't worry, the week does get better as it goes on. Well done :)

Wasn’t so hot when I did that run... and I really struggled 🤣. This run catches many people out... not you though, despite the heat. Great job.

Yep. Definitely the hardest run of the program for me. I was a little more verbose in my post, but it was definitely the intervals that mucked my rhythm. Well done for getting it out the way!
