W5 R2, the next one doesn’t seem scary anymore!

Just back from week 5 run 2, really surprised me won’t say it was easy, but had enough left to speed up in the last minute of the second 8 minute section.

Probably should have thought the route out better, ran one of the circular walks I occasionally do, rough tracks, styles and kissing gates don’t even register in walking boots, but have a whole new angle when you are trying to run them!

Part of the run was down a farm track (public footpath) where the sheep where obviously worried by a puffing over weight middle age bloke shuffling towards them 😂

That made me laugh! W5r3 is the BEST! Start slow and steady and if you've got energy to spare you can always speed up towards the end. Good luck and enjoy!
