Impressed that you weren't 'Reading ahead' and only just noticed! Really you will be fine. This is the genius of the programme....

Hope so

[Hidden in reply to Dave55]

Well I was and if I can, you can. Promise.

[Dave55 Graduate]

Thankyou

You will be fine. Just remember the 'slow is best' mantra. It's not a race, and the important thing is to maintain a sustainable pace so don't get carried away at the start and you'll have those 20 minutes in the bag.

You'll be fine. Trust the programme and believe in yourself 🙂

Oldfloss always says don't peek for this reason. You will do it though never fear.

I'll add to the numerous people who were apprehensive about W5R3 - and then found it was absolutely fine. Run 2 kind of prepares you for it, though, with 8+5+8 - albeit the 5 in the middle is walking, but that's a period of 21 minutes before you can relax into a cool-down walk. With R3 it's only 20 minutes.

I think we were all worried about it until after when we realised it was nothing to worry about. Just grit your teeth, keep to a sustainable pace, and go for it. You'll be amazed and delighted when you get to the end of it.

If I get through the next run I will be full of confidence
