W5R3......First tried this a couple of weeks ago....and it was too much. Followed the advice & did all of W5 again. Still couldn't get past 12 mins of R3....had to walk for about 10 secs, then run again for a couple of mins...walk for about 10 secs, etc & repeat until I got to 20 mins. So this week, I thought I'd forget doing the whole week & just keep trying for 20 mins non-stop. Monday.....still couldn't do it.... still had to take two 10 sec walks at about min 14 & min 18.
But today.....did the whole 20 mins non-stop! Chuffed to bits. It's 90 mins since I finished & I'm still sweating. Going to do the same run on Friday to reinforce it, then on to W6.
Up until now, I've been taking a 5 min drive to a secluded spot in the country then run. W6, I'll be running from home with confidence!
BTW, I'm overweight, eat a crap diet & smoke (WTF!)

Brilliant! So glad you persisted! Good idea to consolidate. Make sure you take W6 slowly too - the intervals are back and it’s so tempting to go too fast. But for now, time to relax and enjoy your W5R3 success!! 🏆
