Week5r3 smashed!

What a beautiful morning for a run on the clifftop. So pleased with myself that I managed to run for 20 mins and could have done more. Had to repeat run 2 last week as running in against strong winds was too much. Now I know I can run for 5k and I’m sure I’ll get faster.

Leave off the getting faster. You have to be fitter first. Plenty of slow running Builds running legs 💪👍🙂

Well done on the milestone run.

As misswobble says, this plan is about building basic stamina and endurance, which comes from nice easy paced running.

Speed will follow.
