Well i repeated this run today as last time i got stitch . It was ok today ,but 2nd 5 min run was hard . Plus i saw a blackbird fly into a car window with such a thud that i stopped . It looked stunned . I can only think it saw its own reflection . I am unsure about w5 it seems a big move up . We will see on Wed .

Well done you!! Maybe the blackbird has been monitoring your progress and was stunned by the improvement?

W5 shouldn't be dreaded tho. Just take it nice and slowly. And stock up on tissues for R3. Everyone should have a good cry when they finish R3 :-) xx

I’ve just posted about week 5. It was nowhere near as bad as I thought!

Well done!

Ha ha, we must have been running it together, not long finished.

Found it tough going today, two things my left Achilles was aching so it's now wrapped in ice and cling film, plus I thought I'd suck a fisherman's friend (no comments please) to clear my breathing passages, wrong, made me feel sick!

Onto W5, Thursday for me, busy on Wednesday.

See you there! 😁
