Slow is fantastic... the only way to get through to the podium, injury free:) Well done!

Things are obviously happening to your body and from now, your mind.

Treat W6R1 with respect.

Well done.

Well done! W5R3 is such a psychological boost, isn't it? Onwards and upwards!

Yes it felt like a big jump upwards and knowing you can do that gives such self- belief. 😊

I have also experienced going faster when I think I slowing. Something about stride length. Excellent!
