W5R1 and I did it!

[Shivani05]

After an incredibly difficult W4 I had wanted to repeat at least one more run from that podcast. But when I got to the gym I was feeling confident...maybe it's the distance between today and the last run, I don't know (also, I could not listen to the music from W4 one more time), but I decided to do W5 and I had a wonderful run! Breathing was a bit difficult but not so much that I wanted to stop even once, no stitch, my legs didn't feel like they would give up on me...in fact, at the last minute of the last run I sped up and could have gone on for a little longer but listened to Laura and slowed down. The gremlins did surface every now I then, but I told them to shut up and go away (far less politely). It feels so good after a terrible W4. Onwards and upwards!

Well done to you Shivani. Yes, the music is awful but when you graduate you won't have to listen to it any more!

[Shivani05 Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you! I don't actually mind the music so much, but W4 was pretty bad. Glad to be done with it

Sounds like you're doing really well. And I think in this stage of the game, it's important to do what Laura says, so well done for listening. It's easy to feel over confident and do that little bit more which then comes back to bite a few days later when the legs are heavy. So nice one Shivani!

Thank you!

It is the big w5 already. That came round fast. You can definitely do this, you're making such good progress now. Never mind those dastardly gremlins, they won't stop you!

[Shivani05 Graduate in reply to boptillyoudrop49]

Gremlins be gone!
