W6 R1

Just finished this! I remember being mildly alarmed about it when I did C25K the first time.. There were all these enigmatic warnings about how this run catches many people out, but not in what way exactly... I had visions of it lurking in a dark alley with a deadly weapon 🤣 but I think people just mean it was harder than they expected it to be? Anyway, I survived it OK both times 😁

Often people are on a massive high after W5R3 and set off like a rocket, then run out of puff. That was what happened to me! Plus, the walk breaks sometimes throw your rhythm off as they come at annoying times. Glad you had a good run!

That made me laugh. First time round it certainly caught me out as @MissUnderstanding said. This time round though I had it sussed and kept a nice easy pace 👌

I just completely bailed out the first time I attempted c25k ( 2017) and thought no way can I do that not even worth trying! 2nd attempt(2021) got to wk 7 then went on holiday and thought I’ll finish it while I’m away not realising I’d be carrying a day pack ( I hiked the South Downs way!!) so that never happened as I never picked up when I got back life just got in the way - this summer I made it through and I’m so glad I didn’t give up on it x good luck for the remaining runs xx
