Week 6 Run 1

[Mitchm77]

I had to laugh... I was running up a slight incline, it was tough work. It was drizzling a lot. Just recently managed to get Spotify and what would come up on my shuffle? Eye Of The Tiger! It was so apt at that precise moment! Ha ha !

I found this run HARD! Not sure whether it was cos of the rain? Slight inclined against the wind? Music shuffle gave me some very peculiar songs... which I had to skip to next track, losing my rhythm.

But proud to say that I didn’t stop, I did everything Jo told me... but wow did I struggle! I went slow and steady.

Dreading the next run on Sunday 😔

I downloaded Eye of the Tiger especially for run 3 week 5! Were the intervals annoying? I am definitely attempting that one tomorrow! Well done for getting it done 💪🏻

They were, after our amazing achievement of week 5, run 3. But I know it’s for a reason, to build up stamina

Congratulations on your longest workout to date.

Eye of the Tiger goes on my playlist too!! Noticed you have disc bulge same as me. Had it for 16 years and learned what I can and can't do. Running can impact on your spine so found it's a trade off between speed and pain and speed suffers every time! So I just take it very easy but I get the job done. Run 3 is no different to run 3 of week 5 except it's 5 minutes longer. Take your time and plod on and you will do it. If you can run for 20 mins you can run for 25 mins. 90% of the runs here on in are in your head. So keep your pace steady and slow and you will overcome. Enjoy the rest of your journey👍😁

Aww well done on your run!😃 I found run 2 a little bit challenging but it was more than doable, run 3 however, was strangely my easiest and most enjoyable run yet! Just keep a steady pace and put a good playlist together and you will smash it!!☺️💪🏻

What’s good is that you found it hard but you still did it! I think some days are just not as good as others for whatever reason. But carry on, you’re doing great

I felt like that on my w6r2 , you can do it. Keep a v steady rhythm. .... and keep telling yourself “you can do it”. I know easy to say, i almost wanted to collapse at the end!!! 😉

[Fionamags Graduate]

Well done! The main thing is that you did it. You've got this now!!!

[Tinytears60 Graduate]

Your Spotify is supporting you by shuffling that into your ears! Haha! Magic!

Well done for digging in and completing 👏👏

I think it’s fair to say I struggled with week 6 ... it’s them pesky walk intervals ... but you only have R2 to get through and then you shake them off forever!!!

Read my posts on W6.... I called her a little biatch 😳🤣

You will do them so don’t dread them...

👍🏃🏽‍♀️

Inclined run is way harder. Don't be so mad at yourself. You did great.

Have a nice weekend.

This run is a particular pain for some reason, seems to affect a lot of people. You’ll be absolutely fine, you’ve got this 😊
