Passed half-way

[Wybrook]

Completed W5R2 tonight which was the 14th of the 27 runs, so I reckon I've passed the half-way marker ??. Only problem is that the second half looks tougher ! I also seem to run slower on the longer runs, probably as I don't want to run out of steam - not sure how slow I'll be when I have to do 20 mins on my next outing, but even doing 8 mins tonight is about 7 mins 55 seconds more than I'd have managed two months ago!

You will do fine wybrook...I promise!!!! Go slow and finish each run...speed can wait until after graduation. The dreaded 20???? Your body is ready as long as your mind is willing. Every previous run has prepared you for this run... YOU CAN DO IT!!! I'm looking forward to a brilliant w5r3 blog update!!! Gayle

Hear, here, Gayle! (not sure of spelling so take your pick!). Wybrook, don't look too far ahead in the programme - just take each run as it comes and trust the programme and Laura. If you read the tags for Week 4 and 5 you'll find that lots of people have shared your worries in the past but they went on to graduate from the programme. I found as the runs got longer I started to feel my knees so I often put in an extra rest day. The danger is that you can be too good to yourself and at the moment I'm only getting out every 3 or 4 days. But, I am still getting out there so I'm not sweating it too much! Good luck!
