Trust the programme - it looks hard.

But it works.

Once you have done W5 R3 it is all downhill (in a good way!)

Keep going, you’re doing fine. Just trust the program and follow what it says to do. You’ll be amazed how far it takes you if you give it a chance.

It worked for me and my running partner. +We’re certainly no spring chickens.

Nearly everyone says ‘omg’ when they see that run approach; then go on to say ‘omg, I did it’. Right?

I overtook a horse and rider this morning..... convinced myself that they were at a canter... my shuffle won through... There was a good deal of perspiration..... 🙂

It was being very well behaved... it saw me coming up fast in the outside and moved over to accommodate my speedy pass.... the rider was very surprised indeed. ... l thought I heard her say....’ is it a bird? Is it a plane? No it’s Super Shuffle!!!🙂

Some people find it more relaxing not to look ahead!! - That was me for one! I used to switch on Laura’s voice & go.....although there was the occasion that I startled a dog walker exclaiming “What??!!” in response, so shocked was I by what Laura said! 😂 - It was probably “that” run.

You will be fine, but be kind to yourself and focus on this week! 😄

TRUST THE PROGRAM!!!!!

Seriously trust it and yourself

I really enjoyed week 5, I dreaded it but I enjoyed it too

It was probably my biggest worry up to that point but by far my biggest euphoria moment too. I felt so good after run 3 .

Dont think about it now, one run at a time, you'll be ready when it comes round
