I. DID. IT.!!!

So pleased to have completed w5r3. Was dreading the 20 minutes run but like others have said, it's in some ways easier than doing the walk bit in the middle.

Not gonna lie I did want to call it a day after about 17 minutes but something in my head said i shouldn't stop when I was that close to completing. Anyway i had Gina G singing to me "ooh ah just a little bit, ooh ah a little bit more", so I did!

Feeling ready for week 6 next week.

Bye for now!

Brilliant IHR! 👏👏👏👏 I can imagine how great you feel. It’s a real landmark and it’s the one that made me feel like a real runner! 😀

As you might already have read - or if not, look at some prior posts on W6 - the next two runs look innocuous after what you’ve just achieved, but they pack a punch! Just respect them and you’ll be totally fine. 😀💪

Go smash W6, and have fun. You’re doing so well! 😀😀

Unexpectedly intervals seem more difficult after completing continuous 20 minutes. Slow and steady will get you there ;)
