I was dreading this run. 8 minutes continuous running? Twice? Not only did I manage it, but I actually enjoyed it. I took the running at a very steady pace. I always struggle with a hill at the end, but even that was Ok. Felt like a real breakthrough!

Should have said W5R2! Better at running than typing!

Either way it's a good move in the right direction! W5R3 coming up - keep it nice and slow. Good luck!

Enjoying it? Let me just consult a doctor... yep, as I suspected, you’re developing a condition known as “runner” and there’s no known cure.

Well done... on to the next one
