W5R3

Completed this run today and I think I psyched myself out as after 6 minutes my calf pain was intense and had to slow down to a fast walk for 90 secs and then completing the rest of the run.

I'm a little disappointed in myself😕

Don’t be too disappointed. The programme pushes you hard and W5R3 is one of the toughest of the lot. Keep going and good luck!

No, don’t be disappointed. If you were in pain, surely slowing down was just being sensible and listening to your body?

Try again in a few days and you’ll be fine I’m sure! 😀

Just adding my support - don’t be disappointed, it’s fine, you were sensible. Rest up, hydrate well today and go again. You’ll have learned a lot from this :) good luck!
