Completed W4R1 earlier this evening and it was tough. The first 5 min segment unfortunately for me is up a long incline, not very steep but nevertheless uphill and it was fairly hard work. The walk was much appreciated but the final 5 min at the end was on the flat and I felt great!! Aching a bit tonight in numerous places, welcome rest day tomorrow. Gentle walks and some stretching to recover.

Run 2 on Wednesday, hope it’s less stormy!!!

Excellent to see and well done you, in fact a double well done as your first 5 minutes was also up hill! I've reached but not got past W4 R1 a couple of times now (and I run mostly on the flat), so I really understand what you've achieved. Enjoy your rest day and good luck with R2 on Wednesday.

Thanks Alast, feeling it a bit today in the legs but hopefully a rest day today and an easy day tomorrow will prepare me for Wednesday evening. Really surprised by the step up to 5 mins from previous 3 min, how can 2 extra be so much tougher??? Onwards I guess...
