We do indeed.. it's a biggie, but goodie. Once you've done W5R2 you'll be ready for it - enjoy!

You might need to run a little slower, and if that's what you need to do to get the continuous running minutes done, then no problem. I believe it is as much a mental challenge as it is physical, so good luck - you sound like you're in a good place.

I felt like I went slower in Week 5 too, but then you are running for longer and it probably isn't a bad idea slowing down a bit to make sure you complete each run. I definitely have to mentally shout at myself sometimes to keep going.

I know what you mean running :) have had a few conversations with myself along the road . I am determined to complete all the runs :D
