Week 5 smashed!

I did it! I completed week 5 and I feel so good! 😍😍😍 Literally just got home! I few weeks back I couldn't have done even half that time and here I am running for 20 minutes without collapsing onto my face!

Congratulations. That's the great thing about the w5r3 milestone – you prove that your hard work has paid off and that you're making progress. Keep going!

Thank you. By the end I was tired but not collapsing. I really do feel like I've made so much progress 😍

Well done! I’m looking Week 5 Run 3 in the eye on Sunday - I hope I can do it 😬

in reply to KayBee1000

I'm sure you'll do fine! Mine was definitely just getting my head used to running and my legs just followed lol

Yes, I think a lot of people are saying the barrier is more mental than physical.

in reply to KayBee1000

I totally agree!

Well done!! Keep it up. How are you faring in the heat?

in reply to

Thank you. I head out at 0630 in the morning so before it gets disgustingly hot. Still come home a mess πŸ˜‚

I just completed week 5 run 1 and surprised myself, gearing up for run 2 on Sunday!

It's the week I've enjoyed the most so far, after I spent week 4 panicking about it lol

I’ll let you know

Haha. Yeah. Me too!! I was originally running in a jacket that I thought was breathable. But evidently it wasn’t!!
