Week 5 Run 3! I CAN’T BELIEVE IT

[HexGirl]

I DID IT!!! 20 minutes!

When I started this run I was terrified, it’s a huge jump from the 8 minute run I’d only just conquered. It was a shaky start, simply because of where I was mentally I think! The hardest moment was probably just before the 10 minute mark, but like in previous runs, once I pushed past it I was absolutely fine! I kept a steady pace and before I knew it Sarah was telling me I only had 2 mins left! I can’t believe how quick it actually went given how long it was! I even found the energy to speed up for the last 2 mins 😁 I feel absolutely on top of the world right now and I can’t believe how far this programme has taken me in this short space of time! Really buzzing! 😁

That's brilliant, you smashed it and with energy to spare so you could speed up.

W5R3 is the shortest duration run since Week 3. That's why it seemed shorter: it was!

Well done! 👍

Watch out for the return of intervals in the next run. The runs are shorter, but the overall duration is a bit of a jump up.

Thank you! That makes sense then!

Congratulations ! I remember that week as the one with most of a psychological leap re running for 20 mins with no break. But once you get your head round it, oddly, it is fine !

[HexGirl Graduate in reply to catnip55]

Thank you! Yeah that’s exactly how I found it! It’s definitely more of a psychological challenge than a physical one!

[Hidden]

That's brilliant! Congrats!
