Have you done W5R3, or is that what you mean by tomorrow? Whichever, it seems a huge jump to everyone, but everybody seems to achieve it, and it's such a great feeling afterwards!

Same question as Steve-L if you have done it well done if you haven't just take is EASY and relax. You can do this. Good luck and welcome to this site. You will never be alone here.

Thanks...Monday is the day for no walking, 8 mins seemed long, so slow will be the way to go

What pp15 said. w5r3 sounds impossible, but it isn't. You've done 4.5 weeks of interval training just to reach this point. Your ready, It won't be easy, but it's doable. Post again when you've done it, with a huge grin on your face.

Not what you're looking for?
