Week 5 run 3 looming tomorrow (eek!)

I’m nervous... and a little excited, by the daunting prospect of w5r3 tomorrow! A full 20 minutes.

I feel my body is up for it, but am worried my mind may not be!

How many times do you suppose I’ll repeat the mantra ‘I love running’?!

Wish me well! X

I just did this one this morning.... You will be fine just remember... If you need to slow down do it, get your breath sorted and you my dear will smash it, I was so anxious this morning before the run started hitting a wall just passed 10 mins but recovered... You can do this... Good luck for tomorrow xx

I think you’ve sussed this - you need to train your mind as much as your body. You KNOW you can do this as so many of us have tested it for you 😆. Get your mind in gear and you’ll smash it.

Did it!!! 👏🏻🥳🍾🥂 felt comfortable too. I’m amazed at myself, but sooooooo chuffed. I can’t stop grinning!

Well done! That is the landmark one that proves it's all coming together. Try not to let the return to intervals next week trip you up. On the plus side, they are the last two interval runs of the plan.

You're on the home stretch now; good luck with the rest of the journey and beyond.

Well done, this is my next run, so good to read that you ‘felt the fear but did it anyway’. Trust the plan will be my mantra! Onwards and upwards remyPoshPaws! 👏🏻👍
