Week 5 first run

9 Replies

That felt amazing. I was really surprised at how fast the 5 minutes seemed to pass and how ready I was for the next run.

I was hoping for decent weather for this morning and apart from it being cold, it was good. I'd like the same on Wednesday and Friday please :)

Well done!

But... you ran for only 5 minutes? Surely not!

I think you ran for 15 (FIFTEEN) minutes

😎

Thank you for reminding me. 😁 I meant each of the 3 x 5 minutes seemed to fly past.

Anytime you get a bit anxious about the next run, focus on the total running time of what you've done and what you're about to do.
