Finally finished week 5!

It took 5 runs but I finally did the last 20 min run. My calves and hamstrings really hurt after run 2, so I went back and runs 1 & 2 again. Did run 3 today in the winter sunshine and it was actually ok (just!)

Hey, another successful week 5er! Well done. Now we have to make sure we don't get tripped up by W6.

Where do we get the week 5 t shirts from? ;-)

Hooray - well done! It feels great doesn't it!

Just watch out for that week 6 now - some people find it tricky. Keep it. Ice and slow and steady.

Yay, well done! I'm going to attempt Week5Run3 for the first time on Wednesday. Seeing posts like this motivate me to go out there and give it a go, rather than stay inside cowering at the thought of 20 minutes non-stop. Great job!
