WOW !! That jump to 5 minutes seems like forever, how can an extra 2 minutes seem sooo long 😲 but boy it feels good once I completed run 1 of week 4.

Well done !.and great progress.... I remember feeling the same at that point 😁

Just keep hydrated, keep it slow and trust the program πŸ‘

Congratulations. I felt it was a big jump too but great job on managing it. Hope you have a great rest of the day. Bask in the success πŸ˜€

I’m on w4 r2 today. Hope this one will be less of a shock and hopefully the benefit of knowing I’ve already done it will help.

That was the hardest run of the whole program for me - I felt like I was running on the spot in the final 5 minutes just trying to keep my legs going! But you made it, and that's one of the key things, finding a slow enough pace that you can keep going now the times are getting longer.

Thank you. Totally agree I finally found a great pace for the last 5 minutes. In fact I found the last 5 minutes much easier than that first 5 minutes... Strange eh! πŸ˜ƒ
