That’s fab, thank you

Week 5 is that the start of the longer runs Bridget? Just watch your pacing don't race off, just go nice and steady and enjoy 👍👍

Top tip is to trust the plan and stick to it; your previous runs have prepared you perfectly to complete Week 5. Warm up with some stretches, complete the brisk walk and keep to a conversational pace. You can do it!
