W5R3 so close...!

Managed 18 minutes and 14 seconds before I had to stop today! I was really annoyed at myself this morning for stopping so close to the end, but then on reflection, I was gasping for air after 90 seconds of running 3 weeks ago and so I have to take the positive from that instead. I wouldn't never have imagined that I would have been anywhere near this level back then and the feedback I have had from previous posts on here have been really helpful.

Thank you!

I just completed the W5R3, and if its any consolation, I was almost running backwards at about the 18 minute mark, I may as well have been. You are wise to listen to your body, there's always next time and you will be stronger next time in the legs and lungs.
