No-one was more surprised than me this morning when I enjoyed, yes, enjoyed my first ever 20 solid run so much that I decided to add another minute and went a bit faster. An amazing feeling.

Well done, that is such an important run- proves it's all working :)

Week 6 can sometimes prove challenging so continue slow and steady,

Good luck :)

I have just come back from W5R2 which I didn't think I would be able to do as I thought W5R1 was hard but managed to keep going. I am really worried by R3! How did you find R2?

It was really OK. I think that the steps up this week look really terrible but just keeping going and not worrying about being really slow makes it possible. Having this wonderful weather has really helped me. I am running at the moment with one ear free so I can enjoy the early morning bird song.
