Week 6 next

Last day of week 5 and the dreaded 20 minute run! After the first 5 mins I thought "oh crap, really???" But after another couple of minutes I kind of got into a rhythm and just kept going. It felt really, really good. I was so happy at the end that I high-fived some random person jogging the other way!

Good for you! Week 6 is the business! You'll be fine though as you've done the work. Just keep going slowly and you'll get through it

Don't dread it! Look forward to it because you're batting down hill after week 6

Good luck with week six. :-) Take it steady and you'll be fine. Well done on the random high-five; that's the way to do it!

Well done, Allie! It's a brain thing, your legs and body will be fine! Once your brain has caught up, you'll be just fine! You've done the really hard bit, that was getting off the couch and out of the door. You can achieve anything, in time!
