Knee is fine by the way. Two days of watching the olympics has bored it better, I think.
A relatively painless three five min runs today. Slowest run for ages, slower than all last weeks but we're not timing them are we? I ran for five minutes last week, so not such a big deal to run five, ok three times, again today.
Friday's, run 3, though. Seems like a huge jump. I suspect its a practical joke, haha nice one.

Well done! We're at the same stage - did W5R1 on Saturday & should be doing R2 today, but v tired tonight so will have a go tomorrow. Getting a bit freaked out at the thought of 8 minutes x 2, but nothing ventured nothing gained as they say. As for R3 - well, everyone else seems to be able to manage it ok, so we must be ready mustn't we...
R3 is pretty much the length of an entire episode of Neighbours! Still can't believe I 'll be able do that. Everyone must be in on the joke. Looking forward to trying, hoping the 2x 8 mins goes ok.
It's amazing how we all think we'll never go from 5 minute runs to the 20 minute one, yet we do! You'll manage the 8 minute ones next and then the 20 minute one is just the 8 minute runs joined with the interval walk- simple! Week 5 is a good week because it's after that you begin to think you might make a runner. Have a good week
I've thought I couldn't do every week, yet here I am on week 5. As impossible as it seems it must be doable, exciting, really looking forward to it now. I'll be punching the air on Friday if all goes well.
Friday's the big day for me too. Hard to imagine actually doing it. But think how ecstatic we'll feel when ( if) we do! Deep breath, fingers very much crossed....
