This is the game changer. This is the week I've been looking forward to/dreading as each run changes.I also have a super busy week and I'm wondering how on earth I'm even gonna be able to fit them in. Today I think I will have to go on the treadmill as it's dark before I start work and dark when I come out.

Just thought I'd post something on here if I don't survive the week 😆😆. Please tell me things get easier!!!!

You’ll be fine DD. Often the thought is worse than the doing!! If you ever find your struggling, just slow the pace down. Your doing fab👍🏻

It’s the best week... it’s the week that shows you how far you’ve come... you’ll love the week. Slow and steady as you go.

Go for it!! On paper they don’t get easier but on foot they seem to be! W5R3 is the strangest run ever seems to pop up from nowhere but it’s do-able, tough but you get through it and think why do I have to step down to week 6 😂😂

Good luck! I did W5R1 last night - was cold and windy and I got a bit sore towards the end but I did it! Intrigued by the step up to 8 mins then 20...I'm sure we can do it 🤞
