Well I did it! And in the driving rain! I gave up with the head covering and just went with the flow. Not sure about running in the rain ๐Ÿค” especially when itโ€™s diagonal and a bit windy. Not the best! But so pleased I did it ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘

That's a milestone run !

Well done ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ‘

You will be smiling all day now.

Watch out for week 6 runs 1 and 2 as going back to intervals catches people out !

Thankyou! I will watch out but it puzzles me why this catches people out when we are used to running with intervals?

A lot of it is psychological, after the overcoming the mental barrier of W5R3.

Congratulations though! Mentally, nothing else in the program should faze you now.

Absolutely as John_W says , I think it's psychological, ๐Ÿ˜

I'm sure you will be fine ๐Ÿ‘

Enjoy week 6 ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Congratulations! It's a wonderful feeling and you are braver than me to go out in this high wind and rain. I was going to go out to embark on W6 but there are so many trees round here I honestly don't feel that safe when they are in full leaf in high winds. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Congrats, what an achievement! I also went for a run in the horrible rain but bet I looked a sight running with my umbrella lol!

๐Ÿ˜‚ Iโ€™m not sure I would have managed that! I got absolutely drenched although was very pleased with the leggings (very expensive) as they kept my legs dry!

Thanks! I just kept telling myself I was excited to do it and it seemed to work. You will be fine. Keep us posted! Canโ€™t believe I start W6 on Thursday๐Ÿ˜€

Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 5 in the wind and rain, onwards and upwards to week 6 run 1 but be careful about that run as it catches out some people with the interval walks and runs after the non stop 20 minutes of W5R3 which you have just ran ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿพ
