Week 6 run 1

I’ve read lots of posts about how this run catches people out. I can understand it as when I set out on W5R3 I set out really slowly, knowing I had to keep going for 20 minutes. Y try idata, first run was just 5 minutes. I set out too quickly but soon remembered those posts about this run so slowed down a bit. The rest went well and overall my pace was really good for me. I completed 5k in 43 minutes and that included the walk back up the steep hill. I really feel as if I’m getting there!

Well done! I did that run yesterday and it did feel a bit 'bitty' after last week's 20 minute run. Anyway, onwards and upwards!
