Got my 25 minute run out the way and done it 1st time.
Started way too fast, then slowed for 2nd 5 min slot, then slowed again for the middle 5 mins, then brought it back for the last 10. I was going to try to speed up for the last minute but legs said no. Only covered 3.6 km so I must have been slow!
Week 7 next.
I feel like a runner, I may not look like a runner coz I wobble a LOT 😀
I have another personal challenge. Another something to quit to make me even more healthy, and I thought if I post it here, it means I am accountable for my personal promises to myself, that if I fail, it's my fault and I'm letting myself down.
It's time to stop smoking...😵
I can't carry on running, getting healthy, combatting my hashimotos and chronic IBS and still puff away every.single.day.
Onwards, upwards and may my lungs be forever thankful!

Congratulations on finishing wk6 and also for your new goal with the smoking. I too just did the w6r3 this morning, and it was tough but I did it, despite feeling rough yesterday, and thinking I wouldn't do it today. I'm also doing about 3k so I guess that's normal. Well done you and let's keep going. You now know you can stick to a goal, so smoking should be a breeze - just have to run to take your mind of it 🙂
You don't have to worry about distance, but for what it's worth from me, 3.6 km is sounding pretty darn good
Well done RUNNER
Solid runs now, no looking back, hope you take kicking the habit in your stride too
Are you going to try a stop-plan or go it solo? I have absolutely no personal idea about it but have a few friends who have gone to e-cig with just the flavoured vape-stuff, no nicotine (? if that makes sense) and are coping well.
Jt I quit before with patches, will be going with those this time. They do make me feel and be sick if I start on the larger dose, then drop down to level 2. I'm also, if I find it tough, going to consider hypnotherapy. Not tried vaping, not sure I want to, I see people at work rummaging around for USB cables to charge them all the time!
I presume there'll be a quitting forum here on Health Unlocked too? Don't know if that would be any good but I know it's helped with the running. I get it's completely different, just handy when you're surrounded by those who get the issues xx
