I started out in sunshine and debated with myself about taking the waterproof off, luckily I kept it on. It was windy so I was glad I had a hat. At the point furthest from home I get hail!! Forecast said rain later. I did keep going and did the 3 lots of 5 minute runs but I was slower than week 4 run 3. At this rate week 9 will take days to complete each run

Well done for completing another run!

Never worry about the pace going up and down... we're not robots, and there are plenty of reasons why times fluctuate. I tend to run slower when I am best prepared for a run... and my faster times tend to happen when I go out despite not wanting to....*shrug*

I feel you! I think I go slower each week 😂 in w5 run 3 i went nearly the exact same distance all running as i did in w5r2 with a five minute walking break in the middle... but we will get there! Slow and steady wins the race
