Not too bad at all. Started very slowly on the first-of-three 5-minute segmentsl, plodded through the second, eased into the third and gave it everything the final minute. Not unhappy.

Well done to you. You look well chuffed with yourself and so you should be.

Good for you! I did that exact run on the morning of 29 July last year. It was one I really enjoyed. It was a cool morning with a slight breeze.
It's a great feeling, keep up the good work.

I was anxious throughout about W5R3's 20-minute non-stop that follows this one, which gave me a distraction that helped me complete W5R2 successfully. I tried to run hard the last minute but had nothing in the tank after a long nightshift of bouncing around in a mine heavy hauler. I've decided to do a 3-day fast too, as well as increase the frequency of my C25K runs to every 36 hours rather than every 48. This one was just that, 1½ days since W4R3.
