WK5D3

[Virginia60]

Was going to attempt WK5D3 this morning but failed!! It was hot but I just didnt feel it today. My legs especially my calves were really painful and I just couldnt last the 8 minutes and only did about 5. I managed the middle 5 minutes just about and then couldnt do the last 8 minutes and just ran 5 and walked the rest at quite a fast pace. Will try again Wednesday morning early so it should be a bit cooler. I think this is going to be a difficult hurdle this week with it being so hot!! Never mind I will get there eventually!!

You are right it is hot. Like the rest of us you are new to this so you are learning every time you go out.

Your solution is to the point and shows you have the right mental strength. You didn't do it. Next time you will factor and earlier run to account for the heat. I have no doubt you will do it!

I hope so and will certainly try my best!

No failures here.... You went out (despite the heat). You ran for 15 minutes (in the heat), you dusted yourself down and you intend to do the run again in 2 days. I bet you couldn't do that 5 weeks ago. So it was a great practice run (as IrishJohn would say). 😎

you are so right, will try again wednesday and definitely couldnt have done it 5 weeks ago!

"Will try again Wednesday morning" - you are NOT in any sense someone who 'failed'.

You had a practice run and in very tough conditions. I don't see any 'failure' there either

Drink more water on your rest days as Rignold says...😊

Good luck next time.
