Wk6 run1 as tricky as everyone said

So I found this hard, maybe because it’s an anticlimax after running for 20 mins, or because everyone else said it was tricky so mentally I told myself it was. Maybe the weather although cooler was extremely humid whatever the reason I did find this extremely hard work, my legs were heavy and aching, i couldn’t get a comfy stride, my head just kept waiting for the break.

I did complete but deffo not one I enjoyed 👎🏻

Aww Sarah - welcome to the club...

I empathise with your post... it did the same to me!... I believe it does the same to lots of people...

I’ve just finished week 6 but I didn’t really enjoy it.. as you say perhaps it’s the reality check after week 5 but guess what!

You WILL do it!... I know you will and when you do the excitement (and nervousness) of week 7 will kick in!

I called week 6 the little biatch (she certainly was for me)

Hold your nerve - you got this! 👏👏👏

But you still did it! I found it tricky for different reasons, but we both faced the challenge and got there. It’s in the bag and now we’re ready for Run 2. Well done to you 👏👏👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

I’m sure I say this often (😂) but these are the runs that turn us into runners. The runs that are tricky, they force us to dig down deep and find a way to get through, help us to develop out mental strength. Well done for persevering 😊
