If you’ve done the first two runs of week 6 you’re ready for run 3. Have faith in your progress and trust yourself - you can do it. Stay at a slow pace and make sure that you are properly hydrated. Good luck - you’ve got this 😉

If anything, it's bit like the mental step-up needed for W5R3 to get you over the line. The body's ready for it and you have to believe you are too. Finding a comfortable pace early on will help, as will being well hydrated.

If you've put in all the work so far, all will be well. Good luck! :)

Have faith - it isn’t as bad as you think. No worse than the 20 mins in Week 5. When you stop thinking about how many minutes to a break as much, it actually doesn’t seem as long. Make sure your music is energetic, ( I particularly like ‘ Happy’ when I’m flagging) and I find thinking about it in terms of number of songs helps a lot.

Good luck. I’m sure you will be fine. If I can do it, anyone can.

Thank you so much, that is great!

Just did mine today - steady pace, not too fast and mind over matter when you’re starting to feel tired
