Week 5, run 1 - done 🙌

[JCGM]

Just completed the 3 5 minute runs and am proud of myself 🤣 struggled a bit with week 4 and repeated a couple of the runs because I slowed to a walk during the last 5 minutes, so delighted I managed the 3 5s, one after another.

However, will I manage the 8 minute ones on Wednesday?! 🙈😂 we shall see!!!

Yayyyy! Well done!.... Week 5 got in my head ... but it was madness .. and there really is no need. The plan prepares you for it and you will do it!

Best of luck!

Thanks! I think it’s looking ahead to that one yellow block of running that instils the fear 🤣 kind of looking forward to it... Who knew running could be so enjoyable 🤷🏻‍♀️

I know!.... and I felt like week 5 is a bit of a milestone but i know you will do it!... slow and then slower!.. gets you through!....

It's such a personal achievement isn't it - you feel 10 ft tall once you have achieved!...

Great running... you’ll be fine on that 5,8,5! Enjoy.

Honestly I found week 4 so difficult! I probably did the week 4 runs about 6 times🙈

I’m not sure why but I found week 5 a lot more comfortable than week 4! The 8 minute runs are more than doable and you get your 5 minute walk in between, which eases you nicely into the 2nd run😊

Well done. I’ve just done w5 r3, and it’s really not too bad, all in the the head. You can definitely do it! 😀
