Hi Diddy, there are 3 different runs on week 5, my firm favourite so far was W5 R1, but I find that the last run was always becomes a fav! You'll be ace, PMA :-)

You will be fine. It does sound daunting but if you take it slow and steady you can do it. I completed week 5 run 3 this morning and I was very doubtful I could do it before I started. Stay calm and take deep breaths. Good luck!

If I can do it anyone can.  It's as much a mental battle as a physical one this, so try and stay relaxed and positive.  Good luck!

Thank you all, my knees are pretty sore today, like round footballs....

I tried to speed up at the end of each section as Laura says on the app, and yes I did feel rather chuffed when I completed the runs. 

I am genuinely looking forward to the next run!

GOOD LUCK!  That's the run  I'm most dreading when I look ahead.  Right  from week two I've had W5 Run3 appear in all my nightmares! Be positive though, I@ve every confidence you can just keep moving (albeit slowly) until the end! 

How did u get on ? Starting week 6 today 😱
