Iā€™d had to rest for a week and a half after knee pain set in. I bought some good trainers but still had to push myself out of the front door to get running again. I thought Iā€™d be disciplined and try W5R3 (to get Sarah Millicanā€™s gentle prompts) but only do 10 minutes. This proved a good tactic because another sensible three days rest later Iā€™ve just completed 20 minutes of running for the full W5R3! If I can do it then, seriously, anyone can šŸ˜
