Hi all,

Finished week 5 run 2 this morning and surprised myself by being able to run continuously for 8 minutes!

Not looking forward to run 3 but bring it on!

Hope everyone is having a pleasant weekend,

Lexi x

Me too, and I’m also dreading the ‘big one’ on Sunday! Good luck with yours.

Yes I did it last night too. Couldn't believe after I did an 8 min run once I then had to do it again! But I did it - and some uphill too! Now preparing for W5R3 tomorrow!

I’m always relieved at the end of a run when I don’t die. Well done.

The next run is more about your brain than your legs! Your legs are ready to do this because the program has made sure of that-drag your brain along with you and prove to it that you can do it!😀
