I FLIPPING DID IT

[HattieCooke]

I’m so proud of myself! I flipping did it!!!!! W5r2... You were right I just needed to slow down.

I didn’t just do it.....on the last 8min run, I sped up at the end... I can’t believe it. I failed so badly on Wednesday, so I’m so pleased I did it today.

I’m still super anxious about w5r3... I’ll let you know how it goes

Well done 😁👍

I'm happy to hear the slow down message got through in the end

It usually does..... Eventually 😂

How slow is slow before it’s just walking??

[Instructor57 Graduate in reply to Maxi80]

When walking, the person is permanently in contact with the ground whereas runners make jumps as they move forward.

Yeeessss! Brilliant news HattieCooke 👏🏻👏🏻 you’ve learnt an important lesson and that’s to pace yourself, and as you’ve found out, you can easily speed up at the end and finish with a flourish 🏃‍♀️well done your persistence paid off, your photo says it all 😁👍

Nice one! You should feel proud of yourself. The program works, just do what is asked on the day! I used to look at the next run and freak out! But you don't have too! It is your mind that gets in the way, not your body! It will be ready, just focus and do what's asked! On my last week I discovered Little Mix! I'm in my 40's . ... but on your last 1k and a banging girl power tune comes on! You really perk up! Wk5r3 . ... You'll be on Wk6r3 before you know it 💪👊

Well done, trust in the programme, keep a steady, slow pace and you will be good to go!

[Dexy5 Graduate]

Your face says it all. Well Done

[shsoga Graduate]

Well done on pushing through and getting there!

Many people actually find W5 R3 easier because you can settle into a rhythm for the first time instead of being interrupted by intervals.

You’ve got this, don’t over-think it and just go for it!

Woohoo! 🙌🏼

Well done you !!!...im on week 7 now and never in my life did I think i could do week 1 !!! but its been great. Here is a video which got me to slow down and it worked amazing for me. You might have seen it - youtube.com/watch?v=9L2b2kh...(Not working as expected?)

Yep, short steps are the answer.
