Week 6 run 1

[Kofimaddy]

Week 6 run 1 done and dusted. However, I found it really challenging and tiring considering I’d completed a 20min run in week 5 run 3. Has anyone felt the same?

Well done you, and yes, many of the runners find this week a bit of a challenge, after the runs in Week 5.

Just take it steady and slow, you can do this and you will be fine

I had to look back at my post to see what I said ( healthunlocked.com/couchto5... ) and it just demonstrates what many have said on this forum that this is a week that can catch you out.

But so we’ll done for having conquered it!

Awesome! Keep on keeping on!

Well done! A lot of runners feel the same, I devised a mind trick to help me with those first 2 runs of Week 6.

“Forget about week 5. It’s over. Now you’re training for something else! These 2 runs of Week 6 will help you get there. They are completely different runs and not related.”

It worked and I found the runs to be straightforward.

Yes!!!, it threw me after the 20 minute run as has been said before, keep taking it steady, you'll get there 👍🏃‍♀️
