Well that was harder than I expected. Thought as I'd done 20 mins it would be easy. Perhaps I was too fast. Went much further than usual in 35 mins, 3.72k. that gives me hope for 5 k. Fingers crossed I'll manage 25 mins on Thursday. 🀞

Take it slow and steady...these runs are perfect for relaxed running.

The newly forming legs are beginning to find their own happy pace...

The 5K will wait... well done you!

I think we all thought once we'd ran for 20 minutes that was it we could run any amount of time . Then wk6 r1 and r2 come along and it can feel tough bit it's just preparing you for the longer runs. Good luck and well done πŸ€—πŸ€—

Ach, that one is hard! Going back to intervals after a solid run does seem to confuse the lungs and legs! Don't worry though, it's all preparing you for the longer runs later on! Just take it slowly.
