Well done. Don’t worry- you will do it. We’ve all had these normal thoughts but we surprise ourselves- you’ll be ready for it!

I think everyone's the same as they move from week to week. Part of the particular joy of "progressive overload" - you think you're not going to be able to do the next bit and then you surprise yourself. It's never easy but it's always manageable (or at least so far) with a bit of grit and dogged determination :-)

Just believe in yourself and don’t over think it. You will do it x

Hi, I struggled so much with W4 but this evening managed W5R1 and actually preferred it! Good luck!

Did W5R1 yesterday - also preferred it to W4 and now looking forward to W5R2 tomorrow. Good luck with yours!

Delight not despair.... anticipation not apprehension... take it steady and slow and know you are ready for it...

Each run is different and each run teaches us about a lot more than running :) You will be fine:)

W5 is great. You’ll smash it - honestly. I’m still on a high from finishing it yesterday. Good luck & keep us posted.

Not what you're looking for?
