Panic not! You can walk the Race for Life anyway, so just aim to run as much as you can, and walk the rest. If you then run it all, it's a bonus! :) (I'm doing one, but if it's hot, I may well walk some of it, even though I know I can run more than 5k.)

And week 5 - say after Laura 'Trust in the programme' - you can do it! :)

Slow and steady. ;)
