You can’t beat an early morning run especially this time of year . Amazing sunrises and this week the full moon setting too !

Week 5 R3 is certainly not scary, it is amazing.

This might help healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

It sounds as if you are running on consecutive days. It is not advisable for new runners to do that until they have at least six months of regular running on their legs. When you run the impact creates microtears in your muscles which repair and strengthen on your rest days, not while running. No rest means no repair, no strengthening and so increased injury risk.

You just ran 2 lots of 8 minutes!

Is this the same you that perhaps struggled to run 5 minutes in week 3? Just a fortnight ago!

You just ran half as much again.

The plan prepared you for that step, it has prepared you for the next one.

Go for it! ....and enjoy it!

Not what you're looking for?
