Now I know what people mean by a "bad run". This was Wk 6 run 2. It should have been easy after running for 20 minutes in week 5, but the first few minutes I was breathless and thought I'd never make it. I slowed right down - though not to a walk - and managed to keep going. Strange how one day is harder than another.. Like lots of people I do NOT like the music! I realize they have a copyright problem and need a definite beat, but what about some classical music or something like the Dam Busters?

Yes, I could run to the Dam Busters! I have abandoned Laura for the run but still have her for the warm up walk! How about Chariots of Fire?
Lots of people struggle on W6. Its hard to get motivated again.

Well, maybe we should collect some music that is out of copyright and post it somewhere? I wonder why week 6 is hard - which one are you on?

I like running to iron maiden, but I end up singing, so I'm sticking with Laura for now!

Love the idea of the dam busters and chariots of fire - must get the teenager onto it

What a good idea! They would know the best source.
