W5R3 done!

[vab71]

Was due to do the final run yesterday but did SO much procrastinating and talked myself out of it! Got up this morning telling myself I'd do as much as I could, if I didn't manage the full 20 mins I could just repeat it. No need to repeat, I did the whole 20 mins 😁😮🎉 and it was no where near as bad as I'd made it out to be!

Onwards and upwards to W6!

Looking forward to those longer runs (can't believe that I've just written that but am really beginning to enjoy this running lark! 😁🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

It is so addictive and wonderfully good for us !! Go you!

Well done.

Thanks for posting your success as this run has a totally unjustified reputation as being difficult.

Keep on grinning.

Such a big grin on completion, and pretty much all day to be fair 😁 The reality was nowhere near the nightmare I had built it up to be. 20 minutes without walking intervals seemed so hard but, as people have previously posted (and Jo Wiley told me this morning!), the programme prepares you for it.

I loved 5:3 such a pivotal moment x

Well done! It feels bloomin fantastic, doesn't it? I was really worried about it, genuinely felt I couldn't even do 10, when I finished I was so excited and emotional I wet my self!

I did W6R1 this morning, which wasn't as bad as yours but not as easy as I thought it would be. On researching it, I'm not alone in finding it hard, so will look forward to my next run.

Such a good feeling. Looking forward to W6R1!
