Week 6

[Smile23]

Hi all

Well i never thought it would be a remote possibility that I would get this far but here I am😁

I really enjoyed my 20 minute run but found tonights interval running a tad tricky🤨

Not to be deterred I am looking forward to longer runs!

Its official I think I have caught this running bug😀

Well done Smile23!! After W6 you’re two thirds of the way there 🥳 Keep running!! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 😁😁😁

[Speedy60 Graduate]

Well done, it's one of the healthier bugs out there this summer. 👏👏👏

Well done!!!! I am due to do the 20 mins a day before my birthday hahaha (help!) I am only on week two so I am sort of guessing but I imagine it's easier to find a rhythm and stick to it as opposed to stopping and starting. KEEP GOING! ALMOST THERE xx

Well done, well done. I am right with you Smile23 and did the first week 6 yesterday. You are doing it and hooked, yeah! 👣👍🏃🏻‍♀️

Its scary how much i hated running as a school girl but love it now. 🙃i am turning into a running freak🤣

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Smile23]

Me too. Anything to avoid PE and running. Tee hee.

[nowster Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

I absolutely hated PE at school, not helped by the teachers being sadists.

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to nowster]

Let's hope things have changed for the youngsters today. 👍

[Smile23 Graduate in reply to Nilsam]

Hated running i was a bendy gymnast or team sport kinda gal. HATED cross country running 😩

[Nilsam Graduate in reply to Smile23]

So funny how we change. 👍

[Tinytears60 Graduate]

Oh yesssss! Those intervals make an appearance again! Pesky little blighters! But not for long... you don’t see them after week 6

Well done! 👏👏👏

You will soon be graduating! 🎓👍

A girl can never have enough bling 🕶

[Lindy5k Graduate]

Congratulations. I've just finished my 20 minute run. How the hell did I do that? Didn't think I'd get past week 1. This forum is so inspiring. Well done xx

[marniesmate]

Well done Smile23! Completed run3 of week 6 this morning myself. Thought I was useless but did better than I thought - well, according to Strava 😂. We got this - can't wait to see that we both finished the plan 👍

[Smile23 Graduate in reply to marniesmate]

Yes looks like we got this and with this forum we got each other 😁

Well done! I’m on week 6. Done the first 2 runs so just ( I say just tongue in cheek) the 25 min run to do.

I found I had to really concentrate on going really slow especially on the 2nd 10 min run so as not to go too fast for me to complete it.

[Smile23 Graduate in reply to LdeP]

I get that one but i am v naughty and need to see a visual improvement for my benefit. I realise that i will need to slow. I didnt realise how competitive with myself i could be. Is thst good or bad🤔

[LdeP in reply to Smile23]

I suppose if you can handle going at a pace that pushes you that’s great. I know I’ve got to take it slow and steady. I’m no spring chick 😂

[Smile23 Graduate in reply to LdeP]

Me neither! And i am definitely not fast. The same or even a second faster is all i need x

[LdeP in reply to Smile23]

Yeah I can understand that seeing any improvement no matter how small really helps and gives you a confidence boost.

I’ve run in the past and know I’m definitely slower than I used to be so am not looking forward to timing my runs because I know I’ll be disappointed. Maybe in a few weeks!
