W5R3 (nearly)

5 Replies

I managed the first couple of runs for W5 reasonably well, but couldn't quite get round this part first try. I managed 15 minutes but then my legs gave out, shortly followed by the batteries in my headphones, so at least I haven't had "the conversation" with Sanjeev telling me how well I've done whilst I was slinking back home :-)

Still, 15 minutes is the longest I've run continuously, so that's good. And I'll have another crack at it tomorrow or Sunday.

Fifteen minutes is still great work. It's a big jump up from the previous runs. You can be pleased with that. Give yourself a rest day then have another crack on Sunday!

Thanks, and it is, so I'm happy with that gain. And let's see what happens Sunday!

You’ll do it, I felt like wrapping up when my headphones gave up on me on my last run. It will have put you off your stride. I know that last run of week five seems like a leap but just keep one foot in front of the other and you’ll do it....and it feels great. Good luck

Thank you - you're not wrong, hearing the ominous "out of charge" message is very off-putting. I'm definitely up for giving it another go asap. With charged headphones!
