5k pledge reached, including warm up and warm down (that counts right).

How do I flag this as done in the event ?

Download Strava - 👌

Then ?

Well done! That’s fantastic.

Easier than you thought?

Yes and no. I ran at a slow and steady 6.6km/h. I used the w9 podcast but when Laura said start walking now it was hard to carry on, I probably should have used my own music. However I told Laura that I would be carrying on if she didn't mind and got to 4.6km run and walked the last 400m as my warm down. I don't think Laura minded and the extra running was within my 10% limit.

That’s funny, you being tough on Laura. Shows you have outgrown the course (a good thing).

I wasn't exactly tough lol, I believe I said (out loud) No thank you, I will be carrying on if you don't mind lol

Yes I talk to my blue tooth speaker lol

I do think I need to.stpp using that podcast though now ( I only used it for consolidation) as her suggestions like "Maybe slow down a little bit" make me argue with myself. "She said you coukd slow down", "But I don't want to slow down", "go on, just a little.bit"......

This is definite proof that you have outgrown Laura. It’s time for you to go your separate ways. Laura won’t mind. In fact I’m sure she would be very proud.
