Surprised and a little unsure

So the snow put paid to my running last week and I went back to another week 3 for my first run this week. Then I had a go at Week 4 with a lot of trepidation. The idea of a 5 minute run seemed a big step pup and to do it twice seemed huge. But I went ahead and found I did all of Wk 4 with no real problems. I won't say it was comfortable but it was as easy as week 3 had been. this was a delightful surprise but left me full of doubts. Am I running too slowly? Is something else wrong? Or will it get harder on my second and third try?

Don’t doubt yourself! If you’re completing the runs, then job done!✅ You will naturally speed up in time (even if its way after graduation) the aim is to be running at a pace that you could have a conversation with. Nothing more, nothing less. You’re doing brilliantly well so keep going, one run at a time, slow and steady. Well done you!🏃‍♀️
