Week 5

On to Week 5 and I managed to complete Run 1 on Monday. But due to work/life commitments and a persistent headache that refused to budge, I was unable to get out again until today. Decided to repeat Run 1 as I wasn't sure I could manage the 8 minute run required in Run 2. Although I found the first 5 minute run quite hard, I was pleasantly surprised when I took the second two runs in my stride. Having the weekend off before restarting Week 5 (and hopefully completing it) next week.

Well done you! Congratulations on getting this far. Headaches can be completely debilitating, so glad your headache subsided so you could run again. I'm at a very similar place W5R2 completed yesterday. Keep going! Happy running to you!
