W5R3 😍😍😍

[Walswife]

Decided to try get W5R3 out of the way early this morning as it’s been really bothering me, I set off feeling really nervous for some reason and as reassuring as Jo was this morning I wasn’t sure I could run for 20 minutes straight. I’m 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 😊😊 ran at 9.1k average and managed my breathing all the way through can’t tell you how happy I am 😊😊

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

I'm one run behind you.....just finished W5R2 today. Your post has given me hope that Tuesday will be alright....and I'll be able to tackle a straight 20mins without collapsing!!!😂😂😂 Thank you!!

You will be able to do it, I’m a 48 yo slightly overweight person who hasn’t run since school so if I can I’m sure you can too 😊 hope you enjoy it as much as I did 😊 let me know on Tuesday how you did I’m excited for you now 😊😊

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

[Walswife in reply to Tasha99]

Thank you for the tip I’ll bear it in mind 😊

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.
