W5R2 done... mixed emotions for next run

Just back from running. Enjoyed today’s running and strava says I achieved some PBs today for 1km, half mile, 2 miles etc which is all good news.

Up until now, I genuinely looked forward to the next run with loads of excitement. Can’t say the same for the next one now, mixed emotions for Wednesday’s run as it is going to be for 20mins!!

you go for it and as old floss says " gently gently". For me that run was the best. " What me running for whole 20 mins? Oh yeah!!

Oh don’t worry! We have all been petrified of that one and nearly everyone does it first time!If not, wait a day n give it another go, no big deal. Just pace yourself and if you are flagging, slow down a bit! You will do great! Best of luck!
