I completed W5R2 yesterday it went pretty well and feel really happy with how it went and proud to think I did that!!! Obviously R3 next which I am feeling abit worried about just in the fact that can I actually run for a full 20mins??? Any tips would be great and new playlist/music suggestions???

Well done on run 2. You can do r3, the programme is really clever and you are well practiced for it. I would say just go a little slower than you usually do and off you go. You’ll be fine

Believe in yourself and trust the plan.

You definitely can do it. Rest well, hydrate properly, take it slow and steady, and take a hanky for that burst of emotion at the end when you realise how far you’ve come since week 1 ! If you’re struggling, slow down - as many times as it takes. Enjoy the experience x

Well done you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I'm sure R3 will be fine, have to admit it looks daunting 😦 and I too am a bit concerned about it. I start wk5 today and r1&r2 look fine to me, however I am sure that when r3 comes on Friday I'll do it, the plan works and I'm putting my faith in it. Self belief is a big part of completing a task, so come on, believe in yourself that's what I'm going to do "We Can Do This"🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

You can do it! I felt the same before w5r3 and am someone who’s never run before this program and am quite overweight, if I can do it you can too! :)
