If you managed week 4 then you will be ready for week 5. That's when the increase in fitness starts to kick in more.

Well done for completing week 4! Sometimes some runs just feel harder you will be fine when you start week 5 😃 just go really slowly 🐌

I'm sharing your pain about W4. But we'll get there. R1 for me was fine, R2 just went wrong and i ended up walking for about 20secs of each of the 5 min sections. Failure? Probably not, but I'm having another crack at R2 and then onto R3. Hopefully W5 starts on Sunday for me. But I'll take it slow and steady. We are so going to get through this!! 😁

Glad I’m not the only one thank you! Sure it’s just a blip after the high of completing w2 but onwards and upwards x

W4 seems to cause a few problems. Not least with the runs feeling inconsistent. Nothing to be alarmed about. Just slow it down some more. And then a bit more. Snails are practiced at this. We're still running babies. But we'll show 'em!! 😁

Don’t worry Nicola, week 4 was a bad week for me. It wasn’t until week 5 that I found a comfortable pace that helped me through the following weeks! As Sallenson says try slowing down a little.
