W5 R3 conquered!

[Ravenjax]

I have to say I was dreading this, I thought going from running for 8 minutes to 20 minutes would be too big a leap for me. But I did it!! Whoop!!

[SubterraneanAlien Graduate]

Well done! You did it! I bet you feel amazing!

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

You went from running and brisk walking for 21 minutes to running for 20.......... well done you.

Just take it nice and steady on deceptive W6R1........it catches many out.

[Ravenjax Graduate]

Thanks, I do feel great! And thanks for the advice about W6. I’ll try to go in with a more positive can do attitude but won’t be complacent. (She says currently high on endorphins 😂)

Good job... you beat your self-doubt and did it... enjoy week 6... slow and steady.

[Pattypoos Graduate]

Well done! Run after next for me - feeling nervous but reading about others' successes is so inspiring. I can imagine the feeling of achievement you must have.

[Ravenjax Graduate in reply to Pattypoos]

It’s actually the mental side that’s harder to overcome I found. Best of luck when you do it x

[Pattypoos Graduate in reply to Ravenjax]

Hoping to draw on my experiences as a sailor - have had many 'adventures' in inclement conditions when you just have to hunker down and get on with it. I reckon the mental challenges will be similar...

[Ravenjax Graduate in reply to Pattypoos]

Not as extreme as you but I used to be a boom op in tv, and had to have similar ‘no choice but to get on with it’ attitude during freezing night shoots in all weathers!

[Languid_Lil Graduate]

Well done! You have *totally* got this. Take it slow and trust the programme xxx

[FGB1]

That’s great well done - great step forward isn’t it - and brings great hope for the rest of the programme
