Yes I did it! Week 5 run 3

14 Replies

After the first five-minutes which I found the hardest I felt like I was on a roll. I kept up a steady and fairly slow pace. In the end I ran about 22 minutes. Thank you for all your help and encouragement

Feeling chuffed.

Well done! This is encouraging to read, I'll be doing this tomorrow after doing the 8 minute runs last night, it seems like a crazy jump!! Can't stop thinking about it! You must be so happy to have achieved this xx

Congratulations!!!! I knew you'd succeed. When I saw the title of the message I hoped you were the one who wrote it as I knew you said it would be your turn soon. It feels fantastic doesn't it? Well done!!!

Certainly does. Thank you for your post. It really made a difference.

Awesome - by week 5 it's amazing what Laura can get us to do! I did W6 R1 this morning, and having been chuffed with my first ever 20 min went off a bit too fast for my first 5 min run, which made the rest a bit harder than it should've been - so well done on W5, don't get tempted to speed up for W6 and it'll be fine.
