Good after bad

After a disastrous W6 R1 where I really struggled to finish ..... I smashed today’s W6 Run 2 - I am so chuffed with myself. I think I really settled into my right pace (pretty slow) in part due to UB40 song ‘Homely Girl’ over my headphones - it was exactly the right rhythm for my pace and made me smile .... try it if you like running slow 😜

Well done for not letting a tough run stop you. Starting slow is the key! Expectations play a big part. lots of people find w6r1 tough - after the success of w5r3 expectations tend to be running high. Always start slow 🙂 You've got this!
