Week 5 going well so far!

If you had asked me five weeks ago if I'd be able to run for three five minutes intervals and that I would actually be enjoying it I would have thought you were crazy! I just hope I will be able to enjoy the eight minutes and the twenty minutes non stop on Friday and continue to enjoy it as much as I did today's session. 🤞 Fingers crossed

Making an educated guess I'd say that if you're enjoying it so far you'll definitely enjoy those longer runs 😁Good luck and let us know how you get on.

You will :)

Relax into the runs and simply let the newly forming running legs, do what they are finding enjoyable:)

I have no doubt that you will enjoy the remaining runs this week. It does seem unbelievable, doesn’t it, when you take that step back and look at week one compared to week five. I felt the same way.

All the best! And please do keep us posted on your progress.

Just nailed week 5 run 2 and I'm buzzing! Thanks for all your support - I wouldn't have got this far if it wasn't for all your support! I'm a bit nervous about having to run for 20 minutes on Friday though. I reckon I'm going to go real slow, it's also forecast to be hot on Friday.

Not what you're looking for?
