How is this even possible?!

W6R2 done and I found it (dare I say) totally manageable! The weather here in Sussex was just right too - a gorgeous cool breeze and not too hot. I'm both looking forward to W6R3 and running 25 minutes non stop, and I'm also nervous about it at the same time...

The *BIG* question is... Drum roll... What will the banner say at the end of W6?!!!! (See photo) Haa haa! πŸ˜‚ πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ 😬 End of W1 was "Flying Start" and end of W4 was "Smashing It". Oooohh I cant wait to find out! πŸ€— πŸ€— πŸ€—

Happy weekend everyone πŸ’•

Well done, Claire. I did mine this morning and the first half was not too bad. I hit a wall around 3-4 minutes in to the second 10 minutes. Luckily I made it through! When are going to do your 25 minutes run? I’m scheduled in for Monday morning.

πŸŽ‰ Well done you BeaglesEnd!!!!πŸŽ‰ I hope you are super proud of yourself and seriously good work for persevering too!!

Monday for me too but I'm a teacher and I'm in at school on Monday morning so for me it will be Monday evening, late evening if it's super hot. I will be keeping an eye out for how you find it! It's so nice to know people who are at really similar stage to me!

I’m certainly surprised that I keep ticking my runs off... especially given that week 1 I struggled with 60 second runs...

it’s unreal...

I’m not sure I’m ready to describe as me feeling easy but I’m sure getting there...

Enjoy your weekend πŸ˜€
