New here, I've been running with the zen labs app - W5 R1 today.

It feels like it has suddenly become very steep, but I managed to do the three five minute runs today. Didn't realise until I was on my way home that all three were on uphill grades. Seems like only yesterday I was struggling with week one! Anyways, here's a nice pic of my favourite trail!

Just think... all that hill training will make the flat courses seem so much easier 😀. Certainly not wasted effort 🏃. Well done!

Hey, yeah! Hopefully the eight minutes on the next run won't kill me after that :)

Every damn increase in time had me convinced I was doomed lol :)

But - it's all about just keeping on going out the door and the run works out sooner or later :)
