Well done ! And yes, W6R1 catches more people out than any other run .

Just one more interval run to do then onto the home straight 👍

I don't think I've changed my name floss? 🤔🤣Yes, I know what to expect and am ready.. I know you've probably seen much the same comments before, but don't think it hurts to report on some runs as I go.

Slinky is doing fine probably better than me...😁

I found exactly the same thing. And from reading various posts it seems quite common. I struggled through it and was quite worried when I got to my first 25 minute run yesterday. But I did it. Once I got into a rhythm it just flew by. Definitely mind over matter, concentrating on breathing and then the legs seem to follow. Don't be too hard on yourself, you will feel the benefits when you do your 25 minutes. Good luck !

Not what you're looking for?
