That was blummin hard BUT I thought I had to do 3 runs of 8 minutes , but it was only 2 ... hoorah !
I have the dreaded 20 min run on Wednesday, I started the plan last year , and managed to do that run , so even if it takes a few attempts, I'll do it again ❤️
My shins really hurt today 😩 but I'm thinking possibly because I drank too much bank holiday wine last night 😳
Well done, I have literally just finished wk5 run 2 and so agree it was hard. It's my left knee that's giving me pain especially for the first 8 mins. I must say I'm excited about run 3 but it does feel like a big step. I'm planning on trying it Wednesday but may give myself an extra days rest depending on how my knee feels. Never thought I would be at this level so soon that's over half way through. Should be feeling proud of ourselves. Good luck on Wednesday.
Best of luck Stampy ,let me know how you get on . Are you on the Strava group , if so ,I'll cheer you on 😁
I'm not using Strava I'm using my fit bit to log my stats but I will definitely post my progress on here. It is with out doubt an inspiration to know I'm not on my own on this journey.
I've just done week 5 run 2 today too. Am also not looking forward to the 20mins straight!!
You are ready for it..just relax and take it gently 
Slow and steady..... no such thing as too slow on here...try to land lightly.. and no wine the night before
