W5R2 - feeling great!

Wow, that was a great run! When Jo Whiley kicked in to tell me I was 4 mins in to the first 8 mins, I was shocked as thought I’d only run for 2! Easier than I thought... got the dreaded 20 min run though next.

Steady and slow is definitely the way to go!!

Woohoo!!!

Don’t dread it... embrace it... you’re ready and it’s what you came here to do. When you’ve done it you’ll feel amazing... and you’ll know that you can do the rest.

Great job on those intervals today.

Well done! It’s really motivating to see these posts.

I’ve done W5R1 yesterday and I need to do W5R2 tomorrow and run 3 at the end of this week.

Glad to see others are little nervous about run 3.

Having been where you are just last week, I can honestly say that the final run of the week really wasn't that bad. My run was an "out and back". I turned round at half way and just focused on getting to each "landmark" on the way back - OK, it's the garage ... Next it's the church ... Done that, now for the bus stop ...
