W5R2 completed... I thought 2x 8 mins running would kill me but actually I got into a rhythm and I did it! Just looked at the next run and it's 20 mins running ... must stay positive!!!

Great job.

Don’t worry about the next run. The programme is really well planned and as you smashed this one, I reckon you’ll be great. I found that rhythm allowed me to settle in. Enjoy.

Well done.

The next workout is actually the shortest since W3, as explained here healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Relax and enjoy it.

Great job. We are positive you can do it! Slow and steady… enjoy the milestone next time out.

Good job for W5R2 and finding your rhythm, I seem to always focus on my breathing maybe if I stopped counting breaths in and out and just ran it would come naturally..
