W6R1 time to up the pace........ apparently not!

So made the classic mistake, so full of confidence after w5r3, I decided to up the snails pace. Big mistake, I was knackered. Don't know whether it was because it was still hot or that my legs were still tired from Tuesday's run. Both my friend and I found today really hard but are looking forward to the next run.

I found run 1 of week 6 the hardest of that week as well - but the system works and I'll bet you find run 3 a lot easier :-)
