I will be starting week 5 tomorrow but I am going away to Edinburgh on Thursday till Sunday that means 2 runs while I’m away. I’ve never been to Edinburgh before should I take my running gear and do the dreaded W5R3 while I’m away or wait till I get home. Has anybody got any suggestions of where I could run. We are staying near Holyrood Park.

Week 5 is just another series of gently progressive runs, none of which should be feared

I live in Edinburgh and do all my runs round the base of Arthur’s Seat which is in Holyrood Park. The scenery is amazing, you’ll have a great time!

Take your running gear anyway in sure there will be lots if places to run. Don't worry about the runs in front if you, all the previous runs prepare you for the next. Good luck 😊
