W5R2 - does it count

Hi guys,

Wanted your advice on something.

So today was my W5R2 and it started off on the treadmill as usual and did the warm up, first 8mins run and 2.5mins of the brisk walk before I got a call.

SamSam, get this xyz from upstairs and take it outside to so-and-so. So this took around 2mins and turns out so-and-so wasn’t there but was on his way. :(

While I waited, I did manage to complete the 2nd 8mins run and 5mins cool down.

Do I count this? Or repeat this run.

I hate random distractions! Also lost the record on the first part.

I’m thinking that what you did may be kinda harder than the set run... you’d have cooled down for the second run. I’d count that if it was me.

How frustrating - but yes, you did it, so count it 🙂

This is a training plan, not a check list exercise.

If you have doubts that you completed the workout, repeat it.

If you believe you did, move on.

Switch your phone off.

Love that last bit. Airplanes let me turn WiFi back on... “airplane mode” should be renamed “not now I’m running”

Unfortunately, I rely on my phone for this plan so can’t switch it off but lesson learnt for next time not to answer!

Thanks for the response guys.

I’ll attempt run 3 tomorrow and if I manage it then fine, if not I’ll return to this run.

Not what you're looking for?
