Thanks to all your support, suggestions and encouragement I’ve done w5r3! As you said it was all about attitude and pace - I saw an actual snail!! Kept the action of running if not the speed. Thanks again - week 6 here I come (may need to get those shoes sorted as doctor google I’ve got cuboid problems).

Yay! Well done :-) Treat W6 R1 with the same respect, and yes it is worth getting a proper gait analysis and appropriate shoes.

Well done! Week 5 Run 3 under your belt is a significant achievement. I hope you’re sporting a grin of self-satisfaction all day today. You should feel proud.

I was dreading it so to be past that hurdle is fantastic. This seemed the day with the most extreme step up. Thanks for the encouragement.

See? You got there!! We knew you would.

Take W6 really really gently. It has teeth but can be tamed by going more slowly than you ever imagined.....

Let the snails go in front to distract it....
