W5R3

[LauraD74]

I jogged my W5R2 yesterday, to be honest each time I go I wonder how on earth I will do it then I just have the attitude of well let’s try, on this jog I found myself battling with half my mind suggesting I give up and the other half telling me to carry on!

I’m a bit nervous about tomorrow, my first 20 min run with no break, I’m finding the music on the podcast a bit too boring so I’ve downloaded my own playlist.

25 mins of Calvin Harris/Swedish House Mafia/Rudimental to jog to and Keane and yes a Rick Astley song to cool down after 😁

Good luck to you Laura for your 20 minutes of W5R3, just take the run slow and steady listening to your favourite 🎶. music. 😊

You’ll do it because you’ve trained for it. I believe this is the run that everyone is afraid of. I certainly was but I aced just like you will. Well done for getting this far. Keep it up and good luck... ps, I also love a bit Rick Astley. I watched him support Take That in MK a few months ago.. he was incredible!!

You can do this. Just go slow and slower again if needed. Music you like will really motivate you go keep going as I wouldn't be without music on a run . Good luck😊

W5R3 is just another run, the shortest workout since W3.

This post healthunlocked.com/couchto5... may put it in perspective.

You can do this.

Good luck although you won't need it.

I just finished week 6 so my first 25 min run done.

I struggled on your week until I was on the 20 min run and I found it far easier than I thought.

Trust the program and your body will take care of the stamina required.

I have never used the podcast and just use tracks from spotify that have a good beat. I find my feet effectively just keep to the beat and it helps.

Pick songs you like but with a good steady beat.

WK7 starts on Sun for me. 3x25 min runs but I am looking forward to it now.

Don't worry about speed either. I was thinking about speed like you but now its about running for 30 mins. Forget the 5k distance and concentrate on getting to 30 mins.

Well done so far and keep positive 👏👏
