Well done!! I completed it this morning too. Tough going and the old calves ached but it's a great feeling realising I can do it!! and who would have thunk it!! 5 weeks ago I could hardly run a minute!!

Me too, next run sounds a doddle now, or is it the calm before the storm. But well done to us. Smug mode engaged.....

Ha yes. Very smug.....pride comes before a fall....but I sincerely hope not!! I feel I can actually enjoy it more now that the dreaded 20 minute run is out of the way. Gonna have a good rest and venture out Wednesday morning before work!

Well done for completing week 5 half way now and it's great getting the first 20minute run done. Good luck with week six!

I find it helps if I run when I'm angry!

Brilliant! Such an achievement, you should feel very proud of yourself. Next one's a bit weird, but the ones after just build on what you've just done. Cheers!

Why weird? It looks like a backward step to me or the calm before the storm, I suppose that is weird
