Relax and enjoy it.

Well Done! W5R3 might look a bit daunting but it's NOT! Just go steady, stay positive, find your rhythm (mine's a bit ploddy, tbh!) - and you'll float through it. For me it was the mental challenge so I just kept a steady pace, fractionally slower - and I was so surprised when I could actually do it the next 4 weeks just got better and better! Go steady, make it fun: you'll get there! All Best! :-)

Good luck with week 6 run 1! Thank you very much for the motivation 😊

Trust the programme. It's the psychology of it in w5. It's odd but achievable in your own time and way. Go for it 👍
