W5 Runs

Just looked at the week 5 runs and quite surprised at the jump from 8 minute runs in day 2 to a 20 minute run for day 3. Just hope I can manage it.

You can definitely do it! Trust the programme, take it steady & you'll smash it. You've done brilliantly to get this far, keep up the good work 👍👏

Just believe you can do it and you will. It’s more about what’s going on in your head than your body.

Good luck.

I completed mine last night so I know it can be done.

Excellent. Rather than dreading it, I'll try and look forward to it.

I felt the same when I saw this run, I think most do but you can definitely do it 👍🏻

I’ve just done run 1 of week 5 and that feels a good continuation from week 4, so far so good!
