W5 r2 getting there

Just completed w5 r2 on snow and ice. Very slow but did it. Felt great after. Next 20 min run. I am beginning to believe I might just do it. Another thing I’ve noticed is that for some of my running I can switch off from thinking about aching legs, how much further etc and just enjoy that I’m running.

Of course you will do it, just take run 3 of week 5 slow and steady, however, do be careful about that ice.

Well done.

The secret of all running is to forget about time and the physicality of running and just relax into it.
