Just take it nice and steady. Remember when a whole 3 minutes without stopping seemed a long time? If you completed w4 ok you’re ready for this step up. And when I mean ‘completed ok’ I really do just mean did you manage it? without stopping, or having a medical emergency. Trust the plan, believe in yourself, drink lots (but not too close to your run) stick some distracting tunes or a podcast on your earphones and go for it. You’ve got this.
I’ve just completed it and I’m so surprised how it was more a mental challenge than a physical one like my trainer said. Felt good. Got W5R2 on Friday which is 8 minutes running but I’m not even going to stress over it.
