W4 βœ… W5 😱😰

I can not believe I am saying this but I am now moving on to week 5 after having completed week 4.

The last run of W4 was extremely tough and I even thought about stopping halfway through the second 3 mins but ended up doing the whole lot!

Doubt is starting to creep in as I look at the challenge W5 brings but I guess I can say I felt that way about them all, although this one has me a little scared πŸ˜€.

I will take it very slow and just think of how I will feel when I complete it πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ.

You are doing great.

If any run is tough, just slow down.

This breakdown of W5 should help allay your fears healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Have fun.

Well done! I felt a bit apprehensive too going into week 5 but I ended up really enjoying it even though it was bit more challenging. Many times I've read on here to just 'trust the plan' and each run is setting you up for the next one.

W4R3 was a horrible run for me too. It took all I had to finish it. The weather was horrible and I'd mucked up mealtimes too waiting for a suitable gap in the downpours in late July.

In contrast Week 5 was a breeze.
