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. π€

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 π€π€

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.
Not what you're looking for?
