W6R2 - That's it, no more intervals

And, I don't know how I feel about shrugging off that security blanket??

My first 10-minute run was tough. I've been angry about something since yesterday and I couldn't shrug it off, it kept poking its face into my running headspace...

I managed to leave it behind on the three-minute recovery walk and the last 10-minute run was an absolute joy, I genuinely didn't want Sarah M to tell me to stop.

Anyways, looking at the stats, anger is clearly motivating on the legs ;-)

Looking forward to Monday's run and tackling the 25-minute run!

It's all downhill and lovely "gravy" runs to the podium now. Get out there on Monday and slap that 25mins into submission :-)

Remember if a run is tough, instead of walking, you do still have the alternative security blanket of simply slowing down. It’s surprising how effective that can be sometimes.

You'll be grand - the uninterrupted runs are lovely - just go steady and once you're in the groove it's the best feeling😊

Looking forward to hearing you nailed that 25min 🤗
