Fitspiration

[Slater]

Completed W6R1 this morning. I know some people have found week 6 difficult, so I came on here to get some inspiration before setting out (and it got me a few more minutes in bed!).

To be honest I found this mornings run ok, the hardest part was the final minute of the 8 minute run when I hit the biggest hill on my run, but I tried to keep thinking how much good running up hills will do me good in the long term, and hopefully when I do flatter runs I *might* find it a bit easier.

I'm not really a fan of Facebook, however there is a page on there called Fitspiration, where similar to here there are motivating messages and stories from people who have embarked on a fitness journey, more general than here but for me, equally inspiring. I think thanks to that and all the people on here, I've made into week 6.

Thanks Slater... just finished w3r2 this morning so reading your comments about w6 gives me hope that I'll get there ... as long as knees stay in tact :-). They're complaining a bit but I imagine that is normal for a beginner and it will be okay by W6R1.

Welcome to W6 Slater!!! I think for some (me included) it was the coming off of cloud 9 after the 20 minute continuous run thinking why should W6 even be an issue. Thanks for the suggestion of fitspiration, I will check it out later. Wishing you continued great runs!
