After the disaster of W4 I took the plunge and started W5 (thought I could always go back if I failed ). I even went to the local 5K park run to do it so I could see how far I was actually going. It was 4 laps to do and after the disappointment of finishing the 2nd lap at the same time as the first race finisher I finished the app run on the 3rd lap. Felt pretty good 3 min into the cool down walk so decided to try to finish the 4th lap by running for 2mins walking for 1 min and repeating this to the end. As I live an 8min walk from the park there was ample time for a cool down. So pleased I managed 5K in less than 40 minutes and now feel I have achieved something. The marshals really helped by encouraging you as you went by. Looking forward to the park run next weekend now.
