I have just completed w5r2. The 2nd 8 minutes were hard for me but I kept telling myself that if I stop, I will have to do it again on Monday. That pushed me on. Definitely mind over matter.

Amazing, well done to you! 😀
You are so right, mindset is key. I just did my 3rd run this morning and it was fine. Don’t panic over it 💪🏻
Well done I found the second 8mins tough too. But I did the 20 yesterday couldn’t believe it and I did it very slowly but didn’t stop. Just kept thinking not much further you can do it !! If I can you can go for it 🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️
Well done - determination and mind over matter is the way ahead😃! Look forward to W5R3 - it is a great run and the sense of achievement that you get after completing it is amazing. 😊

Thank you, personally I'm amazed I've got this far as I have always hated any kind of exerise.
Me too! I have to say, the sunshine did not help. I got back just under an hour ago and my face is still bright red! Bring on the 20 minute run!
