W5R3 how did that happen?

Ventured out for the last of my wk 5 runs this morning. The dreaded one. Did I manage it? Yes. Was I knackered? Yes. Did I have that same sense of elation as everyone else who has got to this stage? Hell yes!! and you know why? because we probably all doubted we could do a twenty minute run right? from now on I am just going to trust the programme (and maybe use the force). Nearer the end than the beginning now:)

Congratulations! Lol, we need a Star Wars meme that says Trust the Programme!

Good job Becky glad to hear you smashed it 💥

It’s such a great feeling isn’t it. I loved that run the most because afterwards I believed that I could complete the whole programme, it made me feel like a runner!

BIG WELL DONE ⭐️

After that high, be prepared for the start of week 6. The first couple of runs are back to intervals, on paper they look easy but they do catch a lot of people out. The dark side might tell you that you can’t do it - use the force to push on through. 🚀

Really like your attitude. And that's even without having scenery like I do 😂🤣

I'm amazed at the number of people that get a buzz out of doing this. I never thought I would, but now I wish I had done it years ago.

Keep up the good work 👍😉
