Week 5 Run 3. I really wasn’t looking forward to this, partly because I knew I’d get bored but also because...well, 20 minutes running???? But Genesis Seconds Out got me through, bashing away at Phil Collins’ drum solos. Whooopppeee!

Now for Week 6. Ooh eck 😳😳😳

All the best for you on the programme. That’s really good going - I did week 1 three times!

Can’t say I really love it yet... I love it about 20 minutes later when the memory of it wears off a bit 😂 All the best 😊

Ditto in several ways. Also was not looking forward to W5R3, but the good weather this evening got me out, "What have you got to lose" I said to myself. In the end it was all good and extremely satisfying. Loving your choice of music, My playlist tonite: Rush - Leave that Thing Alone & Cold Fire, Long Distance Calling - Getaway, Snarky Puppy - Minjor, REM - Losing My Religion, Camel - Cloak and Dagger Man. Air drumming or guitaring to Rush very tempting :-) Good luck with week 6!

Yes! Air drumming is great whilst running!! Glad no one was next to me as I was at the gym. The front of the treadmill got a good bashing 😂 I’ve found the long prog type stuff to work really well. Might try some Rush, thanks for the suggestion 😊 Love R.E.M. but the songs just don’t last long enough!

Good luck to you too with Week 6, it’s quite a ride isn’t it?!
