I did it! I read all the post this morning about just tackling W5R3 head on but not to rush it. It was a slower pace than my other days but I bloody did it... who would of thought I could run/plod for 20 whole minutes! Thank you for all the advice on here you’re all great!

I love this well done!

Got my last week 5 run coming up and I've had the Willie's about it.

You're right to pace yourself nice and slow though. That's exactly what I think I'm gunna do.

Well done. Never a good idea to look at what's coming up. Just remember the progress you've made and that helps the head overcome everything. It's all in the mind- not the legs.

Not what you're looking for?
