Week 6 run 1 tick

It's amazing how much confidence I have because I did run 3 week 5!!! Still hot, beetroot colour, dripping, achy legs and praying to hear Laura's voice but am beginning to have faith!

Well done. Passing that w5r3 is a big milestone and, as you've said, gives the old confidence a boost which is always a good thing ;) Good luck with w6.

Beetroot? I go a VERY fetching shade of neon pink which lasts about an hour.

W5R3 feels like cresting a hill: it isn't quite downhill all the way now, but there are no huge obstacles in the way any more, just a incremental increases on times you've run before.

Achieving that run is my biggest high so far - I was in tears of joy, relief and disbelief!

As Becca66 has said, there's still some big challenges to come, but once you've done that 20 minute run, you really can do it - keep going to the end.

For me the end is in sight - have W8R3 in the morning, then will be excited about embarking on and completing W9 - won't be able to stop myself posting a graduation note!

So stick with it - good luck and keep us informed of your progress,
