Excited and also nervous that tomorrow is my 20 minute run! Simply can't believe I have got this far in 5 short weeks.

Just want to go out and see if I really can run for that long, watch this space.........

Slow and steady is the trick. Let us know how you get on, after you've got your breath back of course.

I did it last night, by the time I got to 5 minutes I felt like giving up but told myself to stop being pathetic as there was nothing wrong with me, I found after Laura said is done 10 minutes it got easier as I knew I was on the home stretch. So glad I didnt give in. Good luck you CAN do it as Laura says just keep putting one foot in front of the other x

Congratulations, Jcfirework. Belief is needed to complete this run and that will be followed by a huge buzz when you succeed. Start slower than you think you should.....you can't go too slow.

Good luck, I ditto all the above comments, as long as you pace yourself you can do. If like me when you complete it you'll do a victory jig in front of anyone and everyone! Can't wait to hear all about it. Believe in yourself and the training you've done so far :-)
