Completed week 5, run 1 tonight 😊 took it nice and slow to make sure i could finish it all and i did! 🙂

Run 2 on wednesday and the run 3 will be the real test 😖😂

Great job... and more importantly well done thinking like a runner! Taking it nice and slow was smart... and if you do run 3 the same there’s nothing in that run to worry about. You can do it.

I am one run ahead of you. Did W5R2 yesterday...facing R3 tomorrow (gulp). I found the first 8 ok actually ...but the second 8 was a bit challenging. I did it though as so can you! Good luck

We're on the same run. Going out in a couple of hours. I struggled for the last couple of minutes during run 8. Bag of nerves this morning. Let us know how you get on.

Good luck! Love we’re on the same run! I’m doing mine tomorrow...today is rest day. Who’s your coach? I have the wonderful Michael Johnson...I crave his approval 😂 at the end of the runs!

Awesome work! You're doing so well

Week 5 is different as each run is not like the one before and I found that daunting. However, I guess you have to trust the plan because by some miracle I've managed to get to W5 R3. I'm going out later this morning. Would be lying if I said I'm not absolutely dreading it and a bag of nerves. I pushed through the 8min runs but that last 60 seconds was tough. I had nothing more to give and was glad it was over. Focus has to be deep breathing, tiny baby steps, loose arms, let your mind wonder and not think of the time. Guess I'm about to find out exactly what I'm made of. Here goes....

You’ll be amazing...I keep slowing it down if I’m struggling. It does help! Let me know how it goes. Good luck
