So many people have said it’s harder than the dreaded 20 minute run 3 week 5 and I couldn’t believe that could be true. I mean it’s only 5/8/5 minutes....🤷🏼♀️
How wrong was I??
It was horrible!
From three minutes into the first run I wanted to give up and thought of nothing else until the ordeal was over.
It could possibly have been just ‘a bad day’, since I usually run after work in the evening. Saturday morning runs have never felt easy. Maybe I should avoid morning runs in future.
But the main thing is I did do it and I didn’t stop. Not even for a second.

Well done Jude...that is a tough run, and you did it😊...
Still eighteen minutes of running and as Rignold said the walk breaks are not a rest... this week really helps you focus I think, you know you can do it and its building you up to that third run of the week...
Yes, I think you’re right. I’m thinking that it’s the psychology of the walk breaks that threw me. With the 20 minute run I knew what was ahead and had to push through that barrier only once to settle into the mindset of completing a long run. But today I assumed 5 minutes was easy, found it tough, had to walk again and start running back through that barrier. It was a killer!
