Wk5 run 3



They have got on very well indeed on run 3 of week 5, just take it slowly and you will be able to run all of the 20 minutes 🏃😊
Eek i hope your right. I've stuck to the plan so far. But wouldn't say I've found it particularly easy.
Nothing comes easy to begin with, once you complete run 3 of week 5 slow and steady you will be very proud of yourself.
I don’t think it is meant to be easy... I’m just finally figuring that out 🤪Wondering during the run if you are going to get through it, finishing the runs with wobbly legs, burning cheeks, sweaty and breathing hard is normal I think... 🤔

There is no big jump.

Trust the plan, believe in yourself and pace yourself sensibly.

You'll do it. The 20 minute run was very enjoyable and rewarding. A great feeling of satisfaction afterwards.
It’s a big jump and scary but it’s was better than I thought and if you prepare yourself mentally it’s will help a lot. I just set some music on my headphones and got into a good rhythm with my breathing and it’s passed by no problem.
You can do it.
W5R3?...Best run of the lot!
This is when you feel like a runner 🏃♀️
Get out there, slow and steady and enjoy every single one of those 20 minutes!
I guarantee you’ll love it, looking forward to seeing your proud post once you’ve smashed it!
GO GO GO! 😁⚡️

I did my w5r3 today. It wasn't as bad as I expected (I think I had overthought it). Take it steady as you don't want to burn out too early and find a way to distract yourself - for me that was listening to a good podcast. It will be over before you know it.

Thankyou

I too was dreading this run when I was there, in fact I’d got myself quite down about it thinking there’s no way I can do that !!!! Trust in the plan and you will do as I did and you’ll be so proud 😁 I never imagined I would enjoy running the way I do, I’ve been doing it for 14 months now , not long runs just 3 miles 3 times a week and I feel great . I hope you continue to enjoy it as I have... good luck 👍

Thankyou thats good to hear
