W5R2. Toasty and slow. But brilliant

Despite the , now unseasonably, warm weather, I decided to set off on the rather scary sounding week 5 run 2.

Well. I did it! 2 x 8 minutes. Non stop.

I listened to Laura. Nice and steady.

Managed 3.2 km, a slightly slower pace , but I'm just so happy.

When I started this program, I would never have dreamed I could do this.

Your support has been invaluable.

Well done. This is probably the program's most definitive week and it sounds like you are doing brilliantly.

W5R3 awaits - it sounds scary but slow and steady and I am sure you will be fine.

Not what you're looking for?
