4 day break since I did W5R3 feeling amazing after completing it and then I really struggled with the first 5min run today😬🤪 my legs were like lead😬😬 but I pushed on and the 8min one was good with the last 5 a dream!!!! Really struggled with that first 5 but it just shows KEEP GOING!!!! Won’t leave it that long between runs again. 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Do you know what littlerua ....I don’t think it’s the rest days, I think it’s in your head. W5R3 is such a worry isn’t it? Such a milestone of a run & we ALL get soooooo psyched up about it that W6 just seems soooooo hard, but it’s not really, we just think it is....you are doing FANTASTICALLY....& don’t you be thinking otherwise 💪🏻

Thank you. The support is fantastic on here. Think you are right about getting psyched up.... not really stressing about the 25min run on Sat now as I know slow and steady just might get me through and if it doesn’t well there’s always W7 😂😂

W6R1 was tough for me too, W6R2 was absolutely fine.

Agree it’s all about pushing on and not letting those mental demons get in the way.

W6R3 next for me, 25mins, aaghhhh!

You’ll be fine with R3 - just take it slow and refuse to stop!
