Well yes I've now run for twenty minutes, I can't believe it. My brain kept telling me you can't do this but I remembered what someone said on here about ignoring that voice and I kept going. I found it hard but thinking back I can't actually remember where the time went. I feel so proud and excited. Thank you all for your help. Here's to week 6.

This is the run that builds a solid foundation for all of your future runs. Once you know you can run 20 minutes, you will start gaining such self confidence. Very well done and welcome to week 6! :-) Gayle
