I felt the same!! The next run is easier - two 8 mij runs in week 6 run 1- my lungs were good but my ankles felt dead- stiff pain in lower leg- now my knee hurts
Ah really, so it goes back to W5R2! Did you have pain in-between W5-6?
This was a tough run for me too. Nice feeling at the end though to know you’d completed 20 mins and 5k almost in reach! Will help to build your endurance... next two runs are easier though. Hang in there!
Phew, I was worried it would jump again!!! Yeh I do feel great to have achieved it but worried I found it too hard if that makes sense.
