W5R2

Had to wait till the sun had dropped a little lower in the sky and the heat had abated before setting out today. So as I see it this run is the half way point 12 done and a further 12 to do. I had struggled with completing runs 1 and 2 of week 4 but it came good with run 3. I had considered to repeat W4R3 but thought I’d trust the program and go with week 5 and so far so good. Wouldn’t say I enjoyed both 8 minute runs today but felt a sense of achievement in getting them done especially keeping going on the second one. Quite a difference from 4 weeks ago!

Well done 👏👏👏

I never repeated a run unless I hadn't actually completed the last one, but it's your choice.

In week 4 runs 1 and 2 I had to walk for a little bit part way through the last run of each(only 30’s at the most) but completed it all in run 3.

Your maths might’ve been slightly wrong GSG but you’re still half way through and that’s the main thing 😄 keep up the great work! And keep posting too, it’s inspiring those of us slightly behind you
