W6R2 Feels good

How good it feels to get to the end of a run. It has got way tougher in the last couple of weeks but I'm persuading myself I can do it - after all so many others have made it before me. The mental challenge seems greater than the physical one.

Just take it slow and steady! Try to relax into these longer runs.. let the new legs just carry you along...land lightly, breathe gently and enjoy!

I have also just finished W6R2 and agree that the challenge is much more mental than physical. For some reason, I always seem to find the first stage of each run really difficult and I take a while to get into a running and breathing rhythm. After that I seem to cope better. Such a good feeling to complete each run! Next run 28 minutes non-stop....eek!

That will be the toxic ten! It takes a while for your body to catch up and realise you are exercising basically!
