W5R3

OMG......when I looked at saw run for 20 mins I about died! But I took a slow pace & managed it no problem! Well chuffed with myself. I thought if I’ve managed 20 mins I know now that I can run the 30 mins 🏃‍♀️😁

Well done!

You took the advice of running slow and steady, congratulations for completing run 3 of week 5, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs 🏃.

[Gillian1970 in reply to AlMorr]

Yeah but if I can run the full 20 mins why put you back to less time & walks in between?

[blackcatgib Graduate in reply to Gillian1970]

It’s because the intervals of fast walking are also building you up I think. W6R3 is also quite a shock x

It’s really good to allow your body to consolidate so that you’ll be better placed for the way the ante gets upped in the next couple of weeks. Have faith!

Well done

I too completed W5R3 this morning but found the last 5 minutes hard on both my legs and breathing. But I am only able to run once a week at present so that may have been some of the problem. I ran on roads today and plan to go back to off road route for the interval runs of week 6. Good luck for next week

[Gillian1970 in reply to Knitruntalk]

You too 🏃‍♀️

Well done, Gillian...I've just completed W5R2 about an hour ago, so my W5R3 will be on Tuesday morning and I think I'm looking forward to it, honest.

[wyersmith Graduate]

Well done! That’s a real milestone run. Just keep going and you’ve got graduation in the bag.

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Perfect running... and yes, that’s the run that proves that you can. Stay nice and slow as you enjoy week 6

[Gillian1970]

I take it once you complete the 5k it will be trying to up the pace next. I want to be fit but want to tone my body too. I am actually enjoying this 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😁
