...and I have completed week 5! One scary 20 min run done!

It really wasn't easy, but I managed it. Not quite sure how, but I did.

I guess a mix of sheer determination and distraction techniques.

I have a feeling that my legs are gonna ache more tomorrow.

Phew!

Fantastic achievement. 20 minutes seems impossible from week 1, but you did it!!

Thank you both. It really does seem so impossible from the start of this program. It really is amazing how it progresses you.

I was so happy to run those first 60 seconds five weeks ago. Even I cant believe I've managed 20 minutes!

I really do feel elated but so tired too, lol.

That's the breakthrough psychologically. You now know you can do the impossible. Congratulations, well over half way now.

You've broken the back of it now. Now you know you can run for 20 mins, 30 doesn't seem like the impossibility it once did. Onwards and upwards!
