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 🤯

Great running... and it’s even better that you’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, it’s all about keeping the pace down... do that and you’ve got this.

Glad you enjoyed your 2×8 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. 😊 🏃

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

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.

Not what you're looking for?
