I can't believe I actually am going to say this. I actually enjoyed that run. Was dreading a full 20 minute run but......

I did it.

Now for the weekend break before week 6 😀

I am looking forward to the easy runs but also cannot wait to beat the 25 minute run.

Well done for getting it done.

Me and my wife did W5R3 yesterday. We both managed it to. Great feeling when it’s done

The best feeling in the world, knowing it is achievable.

I have got to week 8 2 years ago but using treadmill so I knew what to expect. This time though I'm running outside and with colleagues so although it was daunting I knew i had friends nearby in case I couldn't do it.

The plan has built us up to this point and it is all, as others had said, a mental battle more than a physical battle. Just believe and you can achieve.

I did my week 5 run 3 yesterday too. It’s amazing. Can’t believe I managed it after struggling to do one minute in the first week. Bring on week 6!
