Freaked when I saw the 2 X 8 minute runs but don't actually find it that hard! So pleased. Strange that I'm looking forward to the 20min run now ๐Ÿคฏ

Great running... and itโ€™s even better that youโ€™re looking forward to that 20... embrace it... relax... run it and then love it. Have a wonderful run.

Done the 20min run and wasn't too hard!

Excellent... now you know you can do the long runs. Next intervals look easier than they are, itโ€™s all about keeping the pace down... do that and youโ€™ve got this.

Glad you enjoyed your 2ร—8 minute runs, you are one of the few people who are looking forward to run 3 of week 5, I know that you will enjoy it. ๐Ÿ˜Š ๐Ÿƒ

Congratulations, great advice from UnfitNoMore, run 1 of week 6 catches out a few runners with the interval walks ๐Ÿšถ and runs, ๐Ÿƒ so take them slow and steady ๐Ÿƒ.

Well done on the run.

I don't think it is strange at all............ you want to run and W5R3 is your first continuous run........ definitely something to look forward to.
