Did w5r2 this afternoon. It was hard! Uphill (very slightly) bits VERY hard!!!! Did it though.-just. I do love running downhill, but I don't seem to be able to allow it to myself on the running bits- seems like cheating . It's the big one (so far) next . We'll see. Half way there.

Well done. I always find that after a horrible run the next one was much better. I hope this is the same for you. Keep going slow and steady and you can do it!!!

Ah, yes, hills. They don't look so menacing until you try to run them. My personal rule has been I can run down the same distance I've run up. Seems only fair, what with the universe liking symmetry and all.

Congrats in being half way there. Good luck in next run!

I'm liking this rule a lot and will be following it from now on :)

Well done Bonniesingh, you're doing great. If you can do w5r2 then you're absolutely ready for r3. Don't worry, just go out there and enjoy it. It's the best run of the programme because you'll feel so wonderful when you've done it. Good luck

Well done! Run complete... Best of luck for run 3... You can do it!
