Wow! So you should be! I'm on week 4 and cannot imagine completing a 20 minute run right now. A fantastic personal achievement. Well done you!

Thanks. Don't worry, when Laura said "20 mins" I gulped, but actually it's ok. 5.1 and 5.2 will prepare you for it.

Hope so! I was actually purple after 4.1 yesterday. The thought of managing 20 minutes just made me laugh - hysterically! You must be well chuffed!

Oh yes very well done , can imagine you must be high as a kite , I would be ( will be) think positive ! I too can't imagine being able to run for that length of time , but like you say the programme prepares you and I have all confidence in it . Well done .

Well done, the 20 minute run is a huge turning point as I think it seems so impossible and once you've achieved that anything seems possible! I remember thinking that if I could run for 20 minutes then I could run for 30 but until that point I never thought I would be able to. You're well on the way now!
