We all have bad runs/days. Sometimes it is like this before we get better. There's no harm in re-doing W5R2 again if you want to. The GetRunning app allows you to re-do runs. Keep your pace slow - the biggest mistake - as the runs get longer - is to try running a bit faster than the body wants. Good luck - and let us know how you get on. Mike
