W2R1-slower is faster

[Bogshuffler]

So I have spent the the last 48hoursbetween a state of eager anticipation and utter dread, however I have just completed W2R1, almost with ease and covered just over 4K. How? I made a determined effort to run slowly, and low and behold (I can only assumme because I messed up starting my watch) that I ran more consistently, rather than starting fast and dying thereafter. I didn't feel like I would fall over and die any second, but rather just kept my pace and enjoyed the run. I am not saying that Jo saying I could now walk for 2 mins wasn't welcome, but I wasn't fighting to hang on until she did.

Fingers crossed that the progress persists.

Nice one. Now you have found the secret. Run within yourself. If it gets tough back off the throttle. Slow is king. 😂😂😂👍

Woop woop! Great news! Agreed, I’m finding W2 more enjoyable than expected.

I like how the extra bit of running gives you time to find your rhythm. The storm cancelled my plan to head out for W1R3 tonight though, boooo.
