I have written two posts to try to help people cope with the mental challenges.

This one healthunlocked.com/couchto5... which is general.

Then to get your head round W5 in particular healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Relax and you will run better.

Thank you 😊 it was more reference to giving up smoking πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ˜‰ will def take a look at the articles as 20min does feel like the mountain ahead but once past the toxic 10 I seem to have pace and breathing down to a tee. I’m really looking forward to the challenge. I really love the structure and it’s fantastic feeling the strength building. Thanks so much for all the -β€œpointing in the right direction β€œ IannodaTruffee. As time passes it’s clear to see why you need the knowledge alongside the practical.

Great for completing wk5r1 and really good you have been smoke free for 8 days. You should be so proud. Well done you 😊.

There is a forum like this for quiting smoking

Well done! It really does work. I've got my last two runs this week.

Great job on the no smoking, my other half found running a lot easier once he gave it up.
