I can run for 20 minutes, really slowly, who knew? You guys! Thanks for all the support & encouragement on here, it really helps. Can't say I enjoyed any of that run apart from Michael telling me I could stop! Still, I did it so bring on week 6.

Fantastic. Well done. I did my W5R3 yesterday too. It certainly is a toughie and seems such a leap. But we did it!! Does anyone know the science behind this big step up?

Well done you too! Yes, I can hardly believe it, 5 weeks ago could barely run for a minute! Huge pat on the back for us & everyone doing this, whatever stage you are at. 👍
