Feeling chuffed

I was dreading week 5 but just did run 1 and at the end felt I could go another half an hour. That was two hours ago, still feel great and pleased with myself.

Way to go... the fears are only the mind, the body is usually ready. Great that you had some left in the tank at the end. Keep smashing it.

Well done - I wish I'd had as much energy at the end as you! I struggled with the same run but I'm starting to see that I cope best with evening runs where I've not eaten anything big at least 3 hours before. Going to try my wk5r2 under those conditions and hope I cope better!!

Think that was a big factor. I didn’t eat anything apart from a snack a couple of hours before, ate a meal afterwards.
