W5R1 - wow!

This running lark continues to amaze me. It is such an empowering programme, both physically and mentally, as so many people have said on this forum.

The effort of running with shouty legs in W4 have really paid off and I even took my gentle incline in my puffing stride! Whatever next - a proper hill?!😄

Have my first week 5 run on Sunday feeling a bit anxious so it's good to hear that you have completed it.

We all have that mixture of apprehension and anticipation before a new run, but all the hard work you've done will keep you running! Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Your encouragement means a great deal - but I think I'd best stick to my gentle incline, best not get carried away. Enjoy the weekend!
