You’ll love it SnailRunner, and you’ll surprise yourself. Plus it’s W6R1 which is crazy. All sorts of different reasons, but if you search the topic on here, you’ll see the numerous posts about it. Also R2, btw.

So enjoy W5R3, smash it out the park (which you’ll do!) and respect pesky W6. 😀

Good luck!

W6R1 is the harder run by far of the two. For both, just keep the pace down and you’ll surprise yourself... you can do it.

I did not expect that! Just done w6r1 and it was hard... doable, obviously, but a lot harder than expected.

Good to hear. I wonder how much of it is expectation? I thought it would be easy after w5r3 🤣

Run 1 there looked hard to me even before I started, but it is all mental challenge to keep the pace down... I figure most who’ve not completed it figured it was easy!

You can do it! Trust the programme. You know I’m only a run ahead so totally know how you feel. And I also know you’ll feel awesome on Friday 🏃‍♀️💪🏻📈

Somebody else has done the hard work in generating and testing the plan.

Thousands have gone before us SnaiRunner71.

As UnfitNoMore says, respect Week 6. Eyes on the prize 🏆 it's not a rare

Enjoy W5R3 😸
