I did my W5R1 last night, in the pouring rain thankfully!

Felt great, second run I had to pull back in preparation for the third and final run.

Calves feeling it a bit today. 8 minute run tomorrow, well that'll be interesting!

Well done! Who would have thought we would enjoy running in the rain?! Hope you have ideal conditions for the big W5R3! :)

Well done! I did W5R1 yesterday and it was ok but 5 minutes was enough; I can't imagine I'll be ready for the 20 minute leap without repeating this one a few times. It seems an enourmous jump.

Good luck with R2!

I completed W5R3 last night in slight drizzle & it was fine. Laura has prepared you physically & everyone one here will prepare you mentally. You CAN do it!
