Wobble overcome: W5 R2 completed

I did it!!! Yay!!! πŸ˜ŠπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ I ran for 8 minutes ...twice in fact!

I’m so pleased I shared my wobble with everyone on Tuesday....your posts of encouragement were in my head as I set out to complete W5R2 this morning. I made a conscious effort to slow myself right down. I listened to a podcast rather than music, hoping I’d get absorbed and therefore distract myself from thinking about how much time was left in each burst. This strategy really worked for me and the first 8 minute burst didn’t feel more difficult than running for 5 minutes. I found the second 8 minutes harder, but I was absolutely thrilled to finish it. Onwards and upwards!

Well done! I completed this yesterday but I’m doing it on a treadmill with a very boring view, only for the first 8 mins I watched a wasp trying to get through the window!! 😁
