It really helped me got over the fear that I would fail at longer runs, make the most of the couple of interval sessions 😊

Because the programme tells you to and as we all know, rule number one is Follow The Damn Programme.

That said, see how you get on with W6R1. If you find it too easy after W5R3, you will be in a select minority.

It is what you are ready for... the thing is... the programme is about more than just running... it is about discipline, pace changing and learning to go with the runs.... you can do this ... :)
