So, cant believe I managed to run for 20 mins, but I did it. Was beginning to struggle at about 17mins so I skipped the song on my playlist and 'Eye of the Tiger' came on. I spent the last 3mins chuckling to myself and pretending I was Rocky. Did, Wk6 R1 this morning and it felt a little easier, in fact I picked up the pace a little. R2 here I come!

I completed my W5 R3 this morning and snap with Eye of the Tiger lol. I make sure I have the Rocky sound track playing for the last 15mins of my runs at least.

Best of luck for W6. Glad it's easier than today. I'm looking forward to upping the pace abit too.
