W6 R1 done and dusted

I was quite apprehensive about this run after reading it often catches people out but I heeded the advice and took it really slow.

First 5 minutes was fine but the 8 minute run dragged, I couldn’t quite believe it when I was told I’d just run 4 minutes! 🤣

I ran the last 5 and still had some energy in the tank so I ended up running through the cool down too (and then did my own cool down walk)

I really feel I’ve turned a corner now with my mental mindset and I’m really loving it.

I can’t quite believe 5 weeks ago I couldn’t run 1 minute without feeling exhausted!

I completed week 6 run 1 yesterday and I found it more difficult that the 20 mins run. I felt the same in the 8 minute run it seemed to last forever however I completed it. Looking forward to week 6 run 2 tomorrow.
