W5R3 DONE DONE DONE

[KANdoit]

Was in such a dither about this run. Really looking forward to the sense of achievement of getting it done. Terrified of the disappointment if I didn't finish it. Fortunately I'm celebrating. I have never ever in my life run (ok staggered) for that long timewise....and apparently I'll be doing it again next week.

Nest run is a 5k Parkrun on Saturday ...but that's definitely a run walk ... I'll be trying run 90s walk 50s intervals after a brisk 5 min warm up walk. trying to improve on my PB of 41:41. Last time I used r70w50 intervals for a time of 43:33

You don't have to graduate before trying a parkrun, just warn the marshalls that you might be slow ...my first one took 53:30 and I wasn't last. The ground doesnt eat you up if you do come last ...you just get the finishing funnel and cheerers all to yourself.

Well done on achieving the seemingly impossible (w5r3 is looming already for me at the end of next week!). Have a great fun run.

well done, nice to hear success stories I have this one to tackle tomorrow night.

Well done, you! I have this run on Sunday - on my first morning of my holiday in Austria! I have a flat run at home, so we'll see what sort of terrain I can find on holiday. Fingers crossed!

I'm envious of your holiday location ... Suss out where the nearest coffee house is to the end of your run and celebrate ... have a slice of Linzer Torte for me or Sacher Torte or Kaiser Schmarren or.. or.. or ... (drools at the thought of an Austrian Coffee House). Hopefully you are staying by a lake ...its usually flat around the edge of a lake.

Well done! I will be there this time next week, and reading what you said about how you felt before matches what I just posted exactly- I'm all ready terrified/excited. It's great to hear you've done so well with it. Good luck for the park run

Well done, I did it yesterday and was so frightened of having to stop! Thanks for the info about the parkruns, interesting to know walk/run is acceptable.

Good luck for Week 6!

Thanks for all the congrats and good luck to those who have yet to do it.
