W5R3 Done

Happy to have done this today. I reckon continuous 20mins is currently about my limit. Could perhaps have pushed to 25mins mark if there was a good hostelry there brandishing a foaming pint. Not gonna happen just yet though, eh! So today was a very slowwwww jog. More people are out around midday. Normally go out much earlier. Set off in high spirits but then dismayed to be quickly passed by a child runner in bright green kit (like a mini Boy Wonder) who left me in his dust. Then a mobility scooter on the road and finally from behind came a lady pushing a pram, where I avoided the humiliation of the overtake by crossing the street. Anyway, still undaunted and feeling pleased ... onward we go.

Congratulations on that milestone run.

Stay nice and slow for the next one........it catches many out.

Well done. It's a great feeling, isn't it. Enjoy week 6, listen to the advice and take it slowly.

Congratulations! Great achievement in running 20 minutes without stopping. It doesn't matter at all what your pace is. I did W5D3 last week and took it nice and steady. Ah yes, it would have been very nice to have ended up in the pub afterwards 😄
