W5R3 - Before I had even put the trainers on I had managed to talk myself out of this run.

No way am I going to do this..!!

Who are you trying to kid..!

Go back to bed..!!

Get up and give it a go.........so I did.

I loved every second and them legs kept on going and going .........before long .....Jo Wiley was in my ear giving me hell..!!!

I did it and it felt great...!!

When Its time for you to do the W5R3 run......the hard work already been done.

It won't be your legs that let you down it will your head.

Thanks everyone...couldn't carry on without you.

Well done all. Great work. It's a great milestone to get through. Respect the next couple of runs in week 6. After week 6 it is all down hill to the finish line. 👍👍

Well done! I feel exactly the same ... just did w5r2 and thought I'd look at R3, big mistake!!! Am already sure there is no way I can do it!! I will take heart from what you say though and give it a try. Such a big step up I'm not convinced!
