Decided to try get W5R3 out of the way early this morning as itβs been really bothering me, I set off feeling really nervous for some reason and as reassuring as Jo was this morning I wasnβt sure I could run for 20 minutes straight. Iβm absolutely buzzing it was not nearly as difficult as I expected everyone is right if you follow the plan properly it prepares you well, I set my map my walk app off when I started running and hit 3k just as Jo said I could stop so even more of a bonus ππ ran at 9.1k average and managed my breathing all the way through canβt tell you how happy I am ππ

Way to go. 3k means youβre on target for about 5k by the end of week 9, which is impressive.

Fantastic! Itβs monumental that run! Careful with the next one - notoriously hard (although Iβd been warned about it so much, I was very wary, slowed down and found it ok π)

9.1k average, that's good.
W5R3 is mainly in your head, the program gives you the physical ability to do it, it's your head telling you that you can't run for 20 minutes without a break.
For me, that was the top of the hill if you like, the rest of the runs I knew I could do after doing W5R3.
