Over halfway

OMG!!! I just did W5R2 and feel great. I even felt god enough that I increased my speed (my weekday runs are on a treadmill) Less than halfway through the first 8 minutes, and kept to that speed for the second. Feel pretty good.

And I agree with another member. Running makes me want to go to the loo, even if I’ve just been!!!!

Dial it back to your previous speed when you start W5r3. You can always nudge it up near the end.

Fantastic progress.

MarkyD LOL, I felt a bit of a wuss for even thinking of that just after I’d finished but then my rational brain said “But it’s not like anyone else cares how fast I run”. I only increased by 0.2mph, but that also means I’ll only go down by 0.2mph!!!
