I'm in shock too! Week 6 looks like it starts easier than today so for a change I feel a bit more confident dot the next 2 runs at least

Watch out for that week 6 run 1. Looks easy after the 20 minute run, but trips a lot of people up...

Thanks for the heads up, although at the moment my legs feel like they'll never run again. 20 min was hard. But tomorrow is another day.
