Wk 5 run 2 ✅

3 Replies

Managed it perfectly fine, ran the first 8 min at the ‘slower’ speed then the first 5 mins of the second one at the same speed then upped the speed for the last 3 mins of the second run, then ran an extra 6 or so minutes at the faster speed so technically ran 24 odd mins with a few stops today so yay!!! Bring on week 5 run 3 .... I think haha x
