W5R2 completed tonight

[Ch0911]

W5R2 completed tonight and the 8 min runs were fine. Kept a decent pace and it went well. Felt like the first 4 mins drag in then when it's half way it flies in.

The podcast is extremely motivating.

Anyone who is panicking about the run length in a few weeks time. Don't. I panicked at week 1 and now I just run with it. (Excuse the pun). The programme is designed perfectly to get you building up in no time.

Good to know, I'm doing this run tomorrow, actually quite looking forward to the longer running sections, thank you for putting my mind at ease 😊 good luck with W5R3 👍

Thank you. Hope your run goes well 👍

Thank you

Once you get into a comfortable rhythm (usually takes me about 7 minutes) can just cruise on auto pilot (sort of!😆) on the longer runs. I actually now much prefer running continually for 30 minutes. Knackered by the last 5 minutes though!

Good luck!

I've just completed this run tonight too. Surprisingly I felt ok but I'm a bit nervous about the next one!

[Aximiser Graduate]

Me too, once again. This time I felt sluggish compared to run 2 but got there in the end.

Not looking forward to run 3 though!

Well done! I did the same one today, enjoyed and can’t quite believe how much! It’s bizarre isn’t it?! Good luck for W5R3

[Roxdog Graduate]

What a great attitude. Hope you are rightly proud of yourself!

Well done 🏃‍♀️👏❤

Well done, I’m at the same stage, doing W5R3 tomorrow. Never thought I would get to this stage when I did W1R1, the programme really does work. Good luck with W5R3!!!

[Ch0911 Graduate in reply to Aubry]

How did it go. I'm planning on doing W5R3 tomorrow. I was the same - I genuinely thought at W1R1 I'd NEVER be able to run for more than a minute. Definitely a confidence builder

[Aubry Graduate in reply to Ch0911]

It was fine, took it slow and had to shout internally to myself to keep going a couple of times,but within a minute of the cool down felt I could go again. Just remember every step up is daunting, but you’ve completed the others so you can do this🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Fantastic attitude 👍👍👍

I did w5 r3 only a week ago, and it was my favourite run so far. I found it to be a real game changer and has really increased my confidence in both the programme am myself.

The only thing I’d say it take it slow and steady , as per the mantra of many others.

Enjoy 👍👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️
