W5R3

[NotAthletic]

So thats week 5 done and dusted. The trepidation of this mornings run left me with a pretty bad night's sleep but I should have just had faith in the programme. 25 minutes, maybe even the magic 30 was within reach today.

My recovery is on another level compared to week 1 and I feel like a different person inside and out. Most importantly my mental health is stronger than its been for years. Am I still gripped with anxiety? Yes. Am I in control of it and not it of me? Double yes.

I'm no runner yet, but I'm no longer a couch potato. Bring on week 6!!!

Great work and great positive attitude. W5R3 is a watershed and you've cracked it. Onward and upward to graduation now but follow the program and take your time.👍😀

Well done.... I am due to do R3 today, I run at 12, but am in a similar place to where you were this morning. Anxious but looking forward to completing it, 20 mins arghhhhhh.

Keep going and huge respect. This is difficult but is so rewarding, both physically and emotionally.
