R3W5 ... BOOM!!!

[Jules_Scotland]

I never thought today was possible! I'd done all the previous weeks, had hard days, had easier days but still, in the back of my mind, I was thinking "20 minutes solid running ... I don't think so"! But today I proved myself so wrong and have just come back from a 20 min run!!! My calves felt like jelly but I'm elated and feel like going out again (.... not really O_o). This plan really does work

[Tomas Graduate]

Wow, congratulations!! Well done to you. It's quite amazing, isn't it? That's the run where you prove to yourself that you're going to make it all the way through

[useitorloseit Graduate]

Well done you! Are you actually in Scotland? I hear you've had some nice weather to cope with up there this week!

[Jules_Scotland Graduate in reply to useitorloseit]

No - not in Scotland. That's my surname Weather not too bad down here though

[runner56 Graduate in reply to useitorloseit]

This weeks weather has been 'interesting'

[5kOrBust Graduate]

Well done! I'm on week 4 and all I seem to think about is that third run of w5. 20 minutes seems an awfully long time!

[Jules_Scotland Graduate in reply to 5kOrBust]

That's what I was doing all last week ... fretting about day 3 of week 5. Don't worry. I found the first five minutes the worst and then I felt my mind having a conversation with my legs saying "how the hell are you doing that?" Good luck for next week. You'll be great! If I can do it, anyone can

[useitorloseit Graduate in reply to Jules_Scotland]

It's good isn't it? The legs just seem to go onto autopilot, and you only have to keep your head in check!

Good feeling isn't it? Well done Jules! xx

[Cara2007 Graduate]

Well done you, and you are right, this plan really does work

[hilbean Graduate]

Well done! It's a really good feeling to get that one under your belt Keep smiling and happy running

[Hidden]

Well done, it is a great feeling when you nail that 20 mins. Onwards to week 6!

[Hidden]

well done it is hard to belive you can do that run at the start but you have and yeah this program really does work just be careful with week6 it can catch you out after that run

[Atalaya Graduate]

Well done! My 20 min run should fall on next Tuesday. Run 1 of week 5 went well so I'm hoping for a confidence boosting second run at the weekend.

[Jules_Scotland Graduate in reply to Atalaya]

Good luck! You can do it

[Hidden]

Well done! not long now and you'll be graduating enjoy this moment, you're doing so well

Remind yourself of your success today if you find a future run a mental challenge xxx

[Hidden]

Well done you, you're a runner now! Magic isn't it?

[Miss_slinky Graduate]

Congratulations, chuffed for you!! Not long to go!

[Sparkyifhungry Graduate]

Gosh that's great. I've that run to do tomorrow, and I'm already getting butterflies over it. I'm keen, but just hope I can just take it nice and slow and get there. It's a total head game thing with me. Nice to know that it can be done though..... X

[MichPet77 Graduate]
