W5 R3 I actually did it!

This seems to be the one everybody dreads, but it was a cool cloudy morning in the Dordogne so I just went for it. Probably the slowest run ever ( 8.08 mins/k and only 4.1k) but I did it and I’m so chuffed 😃

Thank you! I knew I had a hill at about 15 minutes so was determined not to let it beat me and the tactic worked. Woo hoo!

Well done.

It may be the one that everybody irrationally dreads, but it is the next run that catches most people out. Stay slow.

Thank you! 1 more run in France before I go back to the flat lands of Lincolnshire so hopefully nothing to trip me up!

All good, it’s not the speed it’s the time spent building up the stamina, remember the mantra ‘slow and steady’ 🙂
