W5R3 Done.

Well folks, unbelievable, but I completed my Wk5 run 3 today.

Yes, I struggled beyond 14 minutes. My mind and body was screaming for me to stop, but I managed. And, I feel on top of the world.

Thanks folks for all the support.

A question. Laura suggests repeating week 5 towards the end of the podcast. Since I struggled today, do you think I should repeat week 5?

Congratulations. I remember this run was quite daunting and it’s definitely a great feeling to complete it.

If you’ve finished the run I don’t see why you should repeat it. But the great thing about the plan is you can repeat if you wish so do what feels right to you.

Maybe try week 6 and see how you get on?

Will try week 6 next. It's considerably upping the difficulty, so felt a little worried, that's all. Thanks for the encouragement.

Great. Well done to you too! Looking forward to week 6.

Well Done. I repeat if I felt like a week was a big struggle. But you did it! Why not try week 6 run 1 and if it's too much, then repeat week 5?
