I feel like a king . A person who can do any thing . Can achieve anything . Go any far . Be what ever I want to be
Ok I am exaggerating now
But that's how I feel.
For the first time in my life
I ran for 20 minutes non stop -WOW
well to claw fair. I did this because of two reasons
One is this forum - the way you all are motivating all the runners is so much appreciable
The trust people kept in me
The motivating words
And by reading the success stories of the people just achieved
All these ....
Made me push even when I wanted to stop
2 is the podcast . Whenever I want to stop. It just gives me one more reason to go with timing - thanks NHS
OK THE EXPERIENCE
I started with walk of 5 mins followed by a run
First 3 mins were fun but then a light pain started in shin which fainted away in next couple of mins
And the the podcast said that 5 mins are done ... I knew I can go much further
Soon 10 mins completed --- that was the maximum I had run in my life. The actual efforts started now
Soon I started getting breathless I followed the technique of breathing but yet
I managed till 15 mins but was getting impossible to go ahead with the breathing problem I was about to quit and then the podcast said that 15 mins are don't give up now and I did the same
As said in previous post to me
Ask two questions to self
1 Are my legs paining
Say to self NO
2 Am I able to breathe
Say to self YES
FOLLOWED this for next 5 mins and there the announcement came saying just 2 more mins
At last I completed the run
Wow - I AM STILL amazed with myself
Thank you guys
You all are wonderful
Thank you Nhs for the beautiful podcast
I wish I had your app also in my country
In last once again
WOW I DiD IT ----- LOL ???

You are not exaggerating ! Well done for completing run. You had a good strategy to get to the end when you were tired. Very well done !?
Well done,you've done it. This is a big step in your training. It will give you confidence for what's to come. Keep it up.
That's absolutely brilliant. Many congratulations! Week 5/3 is a massive milestone and you really feel you've made progress when you conquer it.
Now here's a tip from an old Graduate - when you do the next run week 6/1, make sure you go nice and easy. Don't think it'll be easy peasey after conquering 5/3 because a lot of folks get a nasty surprise at this run. Go slow, stay focused on the podcast and you'll be another WINNER!!
Wow!! You have helped me with your enthusiasm, my W5 R3 is this week and am anxious about it, like you, never run before but working through the podcasts is working for me. Well done, so pleased for you.
Vibran well done that's a good mile stone reached. I won't spoil week 6 for you as it is another good week of running.
It gets slightly harder but I have total faith in you. I graduated today and I feel exactly the same as you. This forum is ace the people are ace and any time you feel you can't do it get on here. Then you will know you can. Good luck and I look forward to seeing graduate after your name in 4weeks J
