Didn't find this one any easier than the last one .... but I think I'm going to give W5R1 a go on Sunday or Monday and see if I can surprise myself.

Hi I am on the same boat as you but a little behind! Have completed W3R3 and apprehensive about starting W4. But I think each week progresses at a fair pace - challenging but achieveable. Think I will surprise myself too on Monday. Good luck for W5R1!

I bet you will. Just take it steadily, you can always go for a burst of speed in the last minute if you have it.

A burst of speed? You are kidding right? :-)

Well, you understand I've heard rumours it happens sometimes....

You can do it! :-) I'm at the same point and mulled over the same question. I've decided that, as I've not repeated any runs so far, I'll just plough on onto Week5 - what's the worst that can happen?! If it doesn't go well, well, I can just take stock and maybe repeat a week 4 run or whatever. I think it'll be fine though. W5R1 is only 5 min runs, if I remember correctly, before increasing for run 2 & 3. Go for it and see what your body has to say about it, rather than your brain :-)

Not what you're looking for?
