Week 6 doubt!

Hey guys! How are you all doing? I would like to ask if it's normal to feel more difficult to finish W6R2 than W5R3? The last 10 minutes run was tough to finish and I was expecting it would be much easier!

Hi Diana. Yes, I found going back to intervals in week 6 tricky after the 20min run. A lot of people do I think. Stick with it, because it does all fall in to place again, I promise! Good luck🙂

I found W6R1 a lot more difficult than I was expecting considering W5R3 is 20 minutes long.

I also find I'm more suited to the longer runs as opposed to intervals.

My next run is W8R3 and I can't wait for tomorrow to get it done :)

The best advice I could offer would be to try and slow down a bit if you find yourself struggling.
