Despite the wind and rain I really enjoyed this today. It was quite strange however starting with only a 5 minute run after doing the straight 20 mins at the end of W5 ..... so much so, I got a bit cocky and thought I’m only running for 5 minutes initially, so I’ll pick up the pace! Didn’t stop at all but what a mistake! I was tired out by the end of 5 and really needed the walk! Lesson learned and will go back to listening and doing as I’m told, slowly it is then! 😂 🐌 Looking forward to R2 (I think! 😂).

That's a mistake that many of us make. You did great to pull it back though and finish the run. It can really spoil a run if you set out too fast. Keep on!

😂 save that energy for the last bit of the run. Well done on completing your run though!

Well done for getting over that initial blip! 😀Yeh, it feels a bit awkward going back to intervals after the previous run. It really surprised me, as I realised I was really looking forward to doing straight runs! Sounds like you are too! 😁 Good news is you’ve only one more interval run left to do now! 👍🏃‍♀️🐢

Well done. Definitely follow the program. There’s no rush to get to the end and you won’t regret it.
